Relation Toward Books The Call of the Wild, White Fang and Other Stories

When reading Jack London's work, I reach a cathartic experience that is usually only achievable by a powerful film (Schindler's List, Gladiator, Munich). However, Jack London is able to achieve that (at least for me) without the emotional orchestral soundtrack, or the film techniques used in modern cinema today. He is able to have me pause and contemplate the way I have lived my life and how I will continue. His sentences take me to a place where there is no iphone, ipads, ipods, no "generation me." It brings my focus back to the human emotion, the human experiences. Slowly but surely, the world of Fahrenheit 451 will soon be our world, and before long, we will be living in the world of 1984. Call of The Wild and White Fang helps me not to be apart of that.

I'm no animal lover (although I wouldn't want to hurt one either), so I began to read this with very low expectations. The reason why I picked up the book was because I do love the most northern regions of our planet and because Jack London is referred to several times as a source of inspiration to Christopher McCandless in 'Into the Wild'.But much to my surprise I really liked the stories. I think some situations are described and analyzed remarkably well, and London definitely knew how to

Jack London was really, really good at what he did, and what he did was craft stories about dogs (or with dogs) where the main focus is the animal and its place in the world - the tug between the Wild and the comforts of civilization. The biggest question in The Call of the Wild and White Fang (which was sometimes referred to as The Call of the Tame, apparently) was always "At what point does the wolf become a dog, or the dog the wolf?" Many books will make you question what it means to be human

White Fang is by far the greatest story I've ever read. I haven't really read a lot of books by Jack London, but I think White Fang is his best and demonstrates conclusively the author's remarkable talent. The journey of a wolf cub born in and molded by the fierce and merciless Wild of the frosty Arctic to the 'sun-kissed' and civilized territory of humankind was depicted by London in a vivid and imagination provoking fashion. Everything from the magnificent features of Nature to the minutest

This amazing compilation of Jack Londons work is a keeper. The main two stories that comprise this edition are Call of the Wild and White fang. I'll review the two main stories first.call of the wild was an incredible story about a dog being dog napped and whisked away to the north through a series of events.  A brutal story of a dog named Buck being put up against the odds of pain and starvation. a quick learn and a formidable body size puts you in the heart of the Yukon, in the dead of winter.

4 stories for the price of 1 with this book BONUS!! I LOVED IT and as it turns out, I want more of Jack London in my life NOW.Sadly with his passing at the age of only 40 in 1916, so too did his knack for story-telling die with him. Luckily though, he left behind a wealth of material in short stories, novels, articles, essays, plays and even poetry for future generations to savor. Im taking future reading recommendations as I type this review up. I would gladly read them all if I could be

What a wonderful book. I haven't read this since I was in 7th grade and didn't finish it before my book report was due - my teacher caught on and really got after me for trying to turn in a book report on a book i didn't finish. I read this to my 8 year old and we both loved it. The story of Buck, a mild "southland" dog that is stolen and sold to work in the Yukon pulling dog sleds for gold seekers. He finds his wild roots and becomes one of the hardest working and most loved dogs of the north.
