Complete and unabridged, with 99 full-page plates by Albert Bierstadt, Gustave Courbet and George Catlin. London's two dog novels, which he meant as mirror images. Buck, a Californian house dog, is stolen and sold into the Klondike and becomes, by the end, the leader of a wolf pack; White Fang, three-quarters wolf, is beaten toward savagery and then, by one man's patience, brought into a house. Both are books about what a creature is before anyone teaches it anything. Ninety-nine plates of mountain, river and trail painting by Winslow Homer and Albert Bierstadt run alongside the text, wilderness scenery to match the wilderness Buck and White Fang are born into.
