Jack London was the most successful American
author of the early 20th century. He was born in
San Francisco into a very poor family and led an
adventurous life before deciding to become a
writer. Most of his novels and short stories, such
as Call of the Wild (1903 , Love of Life (1905)
and To Build a Fire (1908) , are about men and
animals in harsh conditions and are based on
his real-life experiences. White Fang (1906) is
the story of a wild wolf-dog. It begins in the
frozen north of Canada where White Fang has a
very difficult life. He has to fight for survival
every day and he is treated very cruelly. Finally,
he is saved from his cruel owner by a kind man
called Scott Wheedon, who loves him and tames
him. In return, White Fang saves his life when he
is in trouble.
