The land was enormous, white with snow and silent. Into the still, lifeless silence broke the sounds and movements of life — of dogs breathing, and men calling to the dogs ...' White Fang is one of these dogs and the greatest fighter of them all. A classic adventure story by Jack London who wrote The Call of the Wild (also available as a Penguin Reader, Level 2). Recommended for younger learners.

The man kept talking. There was kindness in his voice, and it gave White Fang a strange new feeling. Now the man's hand moved nearer and nearer to his head. White Fang moved his head down under the hand, growling. Men's hands had hurt him many times, and he could not forget that. White Fang — half dog, half wolf — grows up in the wild but soon becomes the property of Gray Beaver, a Yukon Indian. White Fang knows only the cruelty of man and the violence of nature — until he is rescued by kindness.

The Oxford Bookworms Library provides superb reading and student / teacher support for the classroom, and is also highly recommended for schools running Extensive Reading Programmes, offering the right range of books that encourage students to read for pleasure. When men find gold in the frozen north of Canada, they need dogs — big, strong dogs to pull the sledges on the long journeys to and from the gold mines. Buck is stolen from his home in the south and sold as a sledge-dog. He has to learn a new way of life — how to work in harness, how to stay alive in the ice and the snow... and how to fight. Because when a dog falls down in a fight, he never gets up again.

Call of the Wild and White Fang

The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906) are world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, The Call of the Wild is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the ‘decivilisation’ of Buck as he answers ‘the call of the wild’, an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. In contrast, White Fang relates the tale of a wolf born and bred in the wild which is civilised by the master he comes to trust and love. The brutal world of the Klondike miners and their dogs is brilliantly evoked and Jack London’s rendering of the sentient life of Buck and White Fang as they confront their destiny is enthralling and convincing. The deeper resonance of these stories derives from the author’s use of the myth of the hero who survives by strength and courage, a powerful myth that still appeals to our collective unconscious.

Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire, and to plunge into the forest. Half St. Bernard, half sheepdog, Buck is stolen away from his comfortable life as a pet in California and sold to dog traders. He soon finds himself aboard a ship, on its way to Northern Canada. Surrounded by cruelty, Buck's natural instincts and behaviour begin to emerge as he works as a mail carrying sled dog, scavenging for food, protecting himself against other dogs and sleeping out in the cold snow. Sold to a group of American gold hunters who are inexperienced living in the wilderness, the dogs are treated badly and as misfortune besets them, Buck is saved by John Thornton. Indebted to his new master, Buck remains by Thornton's side, saving him from drowning and protecting him with fierce loyalty throughout their time together. However, Buck can not deny the strong lure of the wilderness around him. Exciting and action-packed, THE CALL OF THE WILD explores the timeless relationship between man and dog, and the inevitable draw of primitive instincts that pull Buck away from civilization and humanity towards the lawless and harsh wilderness.

Jack Londons 1903 erschienener Abenteuerroman, der die Zeit des Goldrauschs beschreibt, gilt als eines seiner besten Werke. Es ist die Geschichte von Buck, einer Mischung aus Bernhardiner und Schlittenhund, der menschlicher Brutalität und Gewalt ausgesetzt ist und erst durch den Goldgräber Jack Thornton Güte und Freundlichkeit kennenlernt: ein eindrucksvolles Plädoyer für Menschlichkeit und Nächstenliebe und ein spannendes Abenteuer, das bis zur letzten Seite fesselt.
