Jack London continues his exploration of the savagery inherent in men and beasts alike in this companion novel to his earlier The Call of the Wild. White Fang provides a complementary narrative of a wild wolf-dog's ability to adapt to a domesticated existence. London's descriptions of the mindless brutality of nature are overshadowed only by his vivid depictions of the conscious brutality of human beings. White Fang explores the multitude of reasons that human beings might choose to justify their brutality and the redemption possible when they do not.
