This is the story of a wild dog's journey toward becoming civilized in the Canadian Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, at the end of the 19th Century. The book is characteristic of London's precise prose style and innovative use of voice and perspective, with much of the novel written from the view-point of the animals. White Fang examines (sometimes graphically) the violent world of wild dogs and the equally violent world of supposedly civilized humans.

To Build a Fire is the best known of all London's stories. It tells the story of a new arrival to the Klondike who stubbornly ignores warnings about the folly of traveling alone.

The famous version of this story was published in 1908.
