The Call of the Wild and White Fang are two masterpieces of American literature set in the desolate cold North. The Call of the Wild is the story of a gentle domestic dog that rejects civilization and returns to the wilderness due to the cruelty of mankind. White Fang is a companion narrative and a thematic mirror to The Call of the Wild; it tells the tale of a wolf-dog hybrid who struggles to survive and ultimately changes from a fearsome wild beast into a creature of love.

Esta historia, llena de aventuras, trata de un cachorro de lobo que se convierte en el perro fiel de Castor Gris, un indio que lo adopta y bautiza con el nombre de Colmillo Blanco, y quien lo trata de manera poco cariñosa, aunque leal. En una ocasión, este lobo-perro salva al hijo de su amo y a cambio solo recibe una doble ración de carne, pero ningún apapacho. Colmillo Blanco se hace un animal malo, e incluso, más cuando su hombre lo vende a un hombre blanco que lo utiliza como contrincante en peleas de perros.

I don't know if Jack London intended for this to be a didactic tale, but it certainly is. When the Yukon experts say don't go out when it's 50 degrees below zero it's best to pay attention. The man, he is never given a name, Sally's forth when it is actually 75 degrees below zero. London takes us into the mind of the man and the dog as the man heads to his doom. Read by award-winning audiobook narrator and producer Mike Vendetti, make sure you are in a warm room when you listen to this tale of the North because at 75 degrees below zero, it is cold.

Des récits captivants et violents dénonçant le colonialisme, la surexploitation de la nature, plaçant l'homme face aux éléments, luttant pour sa survie avec tout le talent de cet aventurier.

Jack London’s Call of the Wild is an iconic title for multiple reasons. On the one hand, its descriptions of the beauty and savagery of life in the frozen north possess a nearly unmatched ability to transport listeners into a world they have never previously known. But on the other hand, beneath those incredible descriptions, is an unflinching look into what defines civilization, in both man and beast - and into how incredibly easily that civilization can vanish.

The Iron Heel by Jack London is a dystopian novel first published in 1908. The narrative is unusual in being a first-person narrative of a woman protagonist written by a man. Predicting future changes in society and politics, it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. The main narrative covers the years 1912 - 1932, in which the Iron Heel oligarchy arose in the United States. Canada, Mexico, and Cuba formed their own oligarchies and were aligned with the U.S. while in Asia, Japan created an empire in Asia, and Europe became socialist.
