Call of the Wild, White Fang & to Build a Fire
Call of the Wild, White Fang & to Build a Fire | Jack London
1 post | 4 read
Generally considered to be London's greatest achievement, The Call of the Wild brought him international acclaim when it was published in 1903. His story of the dog Buck, who learns to survive in the bleak Yukon wilderness, is viewed by many as his symbolic autobiography. White Fang (1906), which London conceived as a "complete antithesis and companion piece to The Call of the Wild, " is the tale of an abused wolf-dog tamed by exposure to civilization. Also included in this volume is "To Build a Fire, " a marvelously desolate short story set in the Klondike, but containing all the elements of a classic Greek tragedy.

I love White Fang, COTW, and To Build a Fire. Interesting though how differently Jack London and Eowyn Ivey treat the same territory. Also, skipped the book and stole #thebookcorgi for this post. I feel he could keep up with Buck. Sorry, @kdwinchester !
