Una de las obras más célebres de Jack London, con cubierta diseñada por Birgit Palma.
Ambientada en la vida dura y salvaje de una frontera que va más allá de lo físico para convertirse en símbolo del conflicto entre la naturaleza y el ser humano, Colmillo blanco es una de las obras más famosas de Jack London (1872-1916).
Como contraparte de La llamada de la naturaleza, en la historia de este perro salvaje que se degrada al entrar en contacto con el hombre aparecen, matizadas por la belleza de los grandes paisajes y una tenue esperanza de redención, las preocupaciones centrales del autor: el choque entre civilización y naturaleza, la lucha constante entre el bien y el mal, la supervivencia del más fuerte y la selección natural.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
One of Jack London’s most celebrated works, with a cover designed by Birgit Palma.
Set against the harsh and wild life of a frontier that goes beyond the physical to become a symbol of the conflict between nature and humanity, White Fang is one of Jack London’s most famous novels (1872–1916).
As a counterpart to The Call of the Wild, in the story of this wild dog who is degraded upon contact with man, we find—tempered by the beauty of vast landscapes and a faint hope of redemption—the author’s central concerns: the clash between civilization and nature, the constant struggle between good and evil, survival of the fittest, and natural selection./p><John Griffith "Jack" London (nacido John Griffith Chaney, 12 de enero de 1876 - 22 de noviembre de 1916) fue un novelista, periodista y activista social estadounidense.Pionero en el entonces floreciente mundo de la ficción de revistas comerciales, fue uno de los primeros escritores de ficción en obtener fama mundial y una gran fortuna sólo con su ficción. Algunas de sus obras más famosas incluyen La llamada de lo salvaje y Colmillo Blanco, ambas ambientadas en la fiebre del oro de Klondike, así como los cuentos "Para encender un fuego", "Una odisea del norte" y "Amor a la vida". También escribió sobre el Pacífico Sur en historias como "The Pearls of Parlay" y "The Heathen", y sobre el área de la Bahía de San Francisco en The Sea Wolf.
London formaba parte del grupo literario radical "The Crowd" de San Francisco y era un apasionado defensor de la sindicalización, el socialismo y los derechos de los trabajadores. Escribió varias obras poderosas que tratan estos temas, como su novela distópica El talón de hierro, su exposición de no ficción El pueblo del abismo y La guerra de clases.
John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.
