"Ими владела любовь — чувство еще более суровое и жестокое, чем голод."
Прекрасная история. И как же всё-таки восхитительно пишет Джек Лондон.

Liked this even less than Call of the Wild.
London storytelling is simplistic in a way that makes it dull. Humans are Gods to dogs. Barf. This book makes you hate people, and think less of dogs. Wolfs, however are alright. Too bad white fang wasn't all wolf. I guess that's the moral.

The eponymous White Fang is a wolf-dog in the Yukon, and his humanisation can be linked to the fact that the book is based on London himself, detailing the struggle of his transformation from the wild nature of his youth to that of a man of culture and domesticity. My family took turns reading this out-loud together when I was a child, and subsequently I did the same with my own children. It is a spectacular companion to London's earlier book 'The Call of the Wild'.
Not the book to read when your dog might get put down!
White Fang is Warrior Cats for libertarians. That is my truth and I will not hide.

The best part of this book is the style. Jack London is a master of rhythm and action. All the fat is burned away— what we're left with is raw, muscular prose. It's simple but effective. Because it's through this prose that London communicates his most powerful idea: animals can be intelligent without being human.
Animal protagonists novels typically place a human mind in an animal circumstances. Making them little more than four pawed teenagers romping through the forest. And honestly, this is probably for the best. Literary animal are effective at communicating difficult emotions without having the burden of humanity. Plus, books are more fun when life isn't nasty, brutish, and short.
But there's a time to look at the world through the eyes of a wolf— To remember that your subjective understand of reality is just that: subjective. And when that time comes, White Fang is here for you.

Me ha gustado mucho. Al inicio me dio mucha pena e indignación, pero Scott me devolvió la fe en la humanidad. Tierna. Ahora amo mas a mis mascotas.
Una historia bien bonita
No se porque clasifican esta lectura como para niños, no siento que lo sea. Siento que es una representación de la dura vida de los animales, me encantó como el autor describía la forma de pensar de Colmillo Blanco. En verdad sentí que estaba escuchando los pensamientos del lobo. Es una gran historia, y los personajes son profundos y complejos. Excelente libro.
