Classic / American EnglishWhite Fang is a wolf from the mountains of Canada. His life is hard but he is happy in his world. Then he is taken to the world of men. There he learns to fight and to kill. White Fang knows nothing about love. But one day he meets Scott

If you know London primarily through novels like WHITE FANG, these stories will provide a new perspective. Full of intriguing characters and snippets of pidgin, they also highlight London's concern with social issues.

The biting cold and the aching silence of the far North become an unforgettable backdrop for Jack London's vivid, rousing, superbly realistic wilderness adventure stories featuring the author's unique knowledge of the Yukon and the behavior of humans and animals facing nature at its cruelest.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.'Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on...'Set in the frozen forests of the Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s, 'White Fang' tells the story of a young wolf-dog's journey from the wild into human territory. As White Fang learns that civilisation is every bit as vicious and violent as nature - and that survival is only awarded to the fittest - we too see how instinct, sensation and emotion drive every one of us.Published in 1906 to wide and instant acclaim, this is a remarkable and moving look at the timeless relationship between man and dog.

Jack London detinha uma incrível habilidade na construção de contos de ficção científica, mas também tinha contos de grande dimensão humana, à luz da época, é o caso deste clássico da literatura, "O Pagão". Esta história foge da linha da ficção científica dos anteriores volumes traduzidos na "Coleção X Maravilhas de Jack London", continua a ser uma Maravilha como só a amizade pode proporcionar. London descreve-nos a amizade entre dois homens que nasce num naufrágio no olho de um furacão. Percorremos depois uma viagem sobre o caminho de uma verdadeira amizade e do altruísmo, um conto de fraternidade. Sendo este também um dos seus melhores espécimenes literários na visão deste vosso tradutor, por tal escolhido para tradução e publicação nesta série de "X Maravilhas de Jack London" traduzida para Português Europeu.

O protagonista desta história fantástica de Jack London é salvo de um naufrágio e raptado por um cientista tresloucado que descobriu uma forma de ressuscitar os mortos. O cientista tem no seu barco um avançado laboratório onde inicia depois um processo de experiências infindáveis em que o cientista mata e ressuscita o pobre coitado um sem número de vezes, até que este faz uma descoberta macabra.Uma curta história que daria por si só um romance, mas que Jack London decidiu libertar da sua panóplia de contos rapidamente para seu ganha-pão, e para dar início à sua carreira de escritor. Consta que terá sido este o seu primeiro conto publicado ("A Thousand Deaths"), em 1899, na revista literária 'The Black Cat' com sede em Boston através da qual Jack London fez as suas primeiras publicações literárias.
