Synopsis
"We need London's mythical wolf almost as much as we need the wilderness of the world, for without such ghost - animals from the depths of the human subconscious we are alone with ourselves." - James Dickey
This volume of Jack London's famed stories of the North includes The Call of the Wild, London's masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, along with "Bâtard", "Love of Life," and White Fang, the story of a wild dog's acclimation to the world of men.
In his Introduction, James Dickey probes London's strong personal and literary identification with the wold-dog as symbol and totem. Andrew Sinclair, London's official biographer and the volume's editor, provides a brief account of London's life as a sailor, desperado, socialist, adventurer, and acclaimed author.

Une redécouverte qui m'a beaucoup plu, notamment Croc Blanc. En plus de L'Appel de la forêt, les deux autres nouvelles apportent un autre point de vue sur la vie dans le Grand Nord.
