Years ago I read White Fang and the love, pain and sorrow it invoked in me is still fresh in my memory. I got SO angry at humanity, I cried over the pain White Fang suffered and my heart swelled with love for him.
The story is about White Fang - half-dog, half-wolf, born in the wilds of the freezing cold Yukon, the only animal in the litter to survive. He soon learns the harsh laws of nature, animals, and worst of all, humans. Yet buried deep inside him are the distant memories of affection and love. Will this fiercely independent creature of the wild learn to trust man again? I won't give away the ending, but be assured that this is fascinating reading and you won't be able to put the book down until you have finished it.
For this weekend I'm planning on reading another Jack London masterpiece, first published in 1903, 'Call of the Wild' - Based on London’s experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness and his ideas about nature and the struggle of dogs fighting for survival in the frigid Alaskan Wilderness, “The Call of the Wild” is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the fight for survival in the frozen Alaskan Klondike.
I ordered this book on-line a couple of weeks ago and it finally arrived this week. The reviews I've read are emotional and dramatic, all the things a good book should make you feel, so I'm hoping to have a wonderful reading experience this weekend. Wishing the same for you!
