This special edition includes two Jack London's novels in their original 1903 and 1906 unabridged version :
I - THE CALL OF THE WILD
The Call of the Wild is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the struggle for existence. The central character is a domesticated sturdy cross breed canine named Buck, born to luxury and raised in a sheltered Californian home. Stolen from his home and sold into service as sled dog in Alaska, he reverts to a wild state. Buck is forced to fight in order to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. Passed from master to master, Buck embarks on an extraordinary journey.
II - WHITE FANG
White Fang takes place in the desolate, frozen wilds of northwest Canada. White Fang, a part dog, part wolf cub finds himself the sole survivor of a litter of five. In his lonely world, he soon learned to follow the harsh law of the North - kill or be killed - and become a ferocious and magnificent creature. But nothing in his young life prepared him for the cruelty of the bully Beauty Smith, who buys White Fang from his Indian master and turns him into a vicious killer - a pit dog forced to fight for money. Much of the novel is written from the viewpoint White Fang, through whose experiences the author makes a parallel between the wilderness life among animals and the violent world of humans.

Autoren-Porträt von Jack London
John Griffith Chaney naît à San Francisco le 12 janvier 1876 (Il prendra plus tard le nom de famille de John London, le second époux de sa mère) était un auteur, journaliste et militant social Américain. Jack London connaît une enfance plutôt misérable et doit occuper de nombreux métiers : agriculteur, marin, voleur d'huîtres, chasseur de phoques (au Japon et en Sibérie), chasseur d'or, journaliste...Autodidacte, il se servira de sa vie aventureuse et laborieuse pour nourrir ses écrits. Jack London remporte ainsi le concours de rédaction en prose avec Typhoon off the coast of Japan qui relate l'une de ses expériences à bord du Sophia Sutherland. Écoeuré par la misère sociale et l'exploitation des ouvriers il devient vagabond (Les vagabonds du rail). Au début du XXème siècle il parcourt le monde comme journaliste. En 1904 il est arrêté puis emprisonné par l'armée japonaise. A bord du Snark, il se lance dans un tour des mers qui s'achèvera en Australie en raison de ses graves problèmes de santé. Jack London décède le 22 novembre 1916 à Glen Ellen.
