About this ebook
Jack London
Jack London was born in San Francisco on January 12th 1876, the unwanted child of a spiritualist mother and astrologer father. He was raised by Virginia Prentiss, a former slave, before rejoining his mother and her new husband, John London. Largely self-educated, the teenage Jack made money stealing oysters and working on a schooner before briefly studying at the University of Berkeley in 1896. He left to join the Klondike Gold Rush a year later, a phenomenon that would go on to form the background of his literary masterpieces, The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906). Alongside his novel writing London dabbled in war reportage, agriculture and politics. He was married twice and had two daughters from his first marriage. London died in 1916 from complications of numerous chronic illnesses.

White Fang - Jack London
The Fight to the Death
The wolf pack was hungry. The ground was covered with snow. Nothing moved. There was nothing to eat. The she-wolf led the pack in their search for food. Three male wolves kept close to her: a large gray wolf, an old wolf with one eye, and a three-year old. They all wanted to mate with her, but at that moment, they could only think of food. The pack was very hungry, and if they did not find food soon, they would die.
After many days of running across the snow, they finally saw a moose ahead of them. It was a large, strong animal, but the wolves attacked it. The pack made a circle around the moose. Even though it kicked and bit the wolves, badly hurting many of them, the moose became too weak to fight. The wolves leapt upon it, and it fell to the ground. Within seconds, the pack was feeding on the dead animal.
When the wolves were full, they rested, and then they continued on their way. The pack divided into smaller packs. Some wolves went off in pairs. A few males went off alone.
The large gray wolf, the old wolf with one eye, and the three-year-old stayed with the she-wolf. Only the strongest one, who could fight and defeat the other two, would mate with her. At first, the large gray wolf and the old wolf with one eye attacked and killed the three-year old. Then, they fought one another. The old wolf with one eye bit the large gray wolf on the neck and killed him.
During the fighting, the she-wolf sat quietly, watching and waiting to see who would become her mate. One-Eye went toward her, and she stood up. She ran off, and he followed her. It seemed that she was looking for something, but he did not know what.
It was not long before they came to a Native American camp. There were men, women, and children in the camp. The two wolves sat outside the camp and watched for some time, then moved away.
As they walked through the forest, One-Eye saw a white animal ahead. He ran to catch it, but it leapt into the air. He could not reach it. He leapt into the air and caught the rabbit. He tried to take it back to the she-wolf but could not. It was tied to a thin branch.
The she-wolf was angry with her mate and bit him. She knew that the rabbit at the end of the branch was a snare. It was put there by the Native Americans. Snares could catch the foot of a wolf. She ran off, and One-Eye followed her. He had learned a lesson that would be useful in the days ahead.
