About this audiobook
White Fang (1906) is a novel by Jack London and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild wolfdog. The story takes place in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush and details White Fang's journey to domestication. Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption.
Jack London
John Griffith Chaney, conocido como Jack London (1876-1916), creció en Oakland. A los catorce años dejó el colegio y pasó su juventud trabajando como pescador, patrullero de costas o marinero a la caza de focas. También sufrió el desempleo y fue arrestado por vagabundear, hasta que se trasladó a Alaska empujado por la «fiebre del oro». Allí vivió sus experiencias más duras, pero también las que plantarían la semilla de la escritura. De ese entorno surgen sus primeros relatos y los que le granjearon fama inmediata: La llamada de la selva (1903) y Colmillo Blanco (1906), para muchos sus mejores obras. La desnutrición y sus escasas ganancias lo llevaron de vuelta a California, pero no tardó en hacerse de nuevo a la mar. Primero (1904) como corresponsal de guerra y más adelante (1907) con su propio navío, en una expedición que recorrió el mundo durante varios años y que inspiró Cuentos de los mares del Sur (1911), otro de sus títulos más conocidos. A su vuelta compró una gran propiedad, pero un incendio fortuito destruyó la nueva casa y aquello afectó profundamente a la salud del autor, ya de por sí precaria en aquel momento. Falleció en su rancho de California a los cuarenta años.
