- Lot Description
North America, United States, New York, ca. 1906 CE. BAL 11896; Sisson & Martens, p. 29. Wow! A first edition of one of Jack London's most famous novels! A fine second issue of "White Fang" written by Jack London (American, 1876 to 1916) and published by The Macmillan Company in 1906. Comprised of 327 pages and 8 color plates by Charles Livingston Bull (American, 1874 to 1932), the famous novel features its original pale green cloth hardcover stamped in black and white lettering with an illustration of a wolf beneath a full moon on the front cover, as well as gilt lettering along the spine. The enthralling tale explores themes of morality and redemption, detailing the journeys of White Fang - a wild wolfdog - through the Yukon and Northwest territories as he transforms from an untamed member of an arctic wolfpack to the domesticated canine of a Californian aristocrat. It was intended as an autobiographical allegory based on London's metamorphosis from a teenage delinquent to a married, middle-class author. Size: 5.3" L x 1.4" W x 7.8" H (13.5 cm x 3.6 cm x 19.8 cm)
Born John Griffith Chaney, Jack London was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist who became one of the first American authors to gain international celebrity status. Considered an innovator of science fiction, London was a passionate advocate of unionization, workers' rights, and socialism. He is most famous for writing "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang," both set in the Klondike Gold Rush which London joined at the age of 21 in 1897.
