  In the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, a lone wolf-dog named White Fang must navigate the brutal laws of nature and the complexities of human society. Born in the wild and shaped by both savage survival and cruel treatment, White Fang learns the harsh realities of life, adapting to each challenge with intelligence and resilience. As he moves between brutal masters and kind-hearted guardians, his journey unfolds as an exploration of the thin line between savagery and civilization. Jack London’s White Fang is a gripping adventure that delves deep into the primal instincts of animals and humans alike, offering a timeless meditation on survival, loyalty, and the power of compassion. 
  This classic novel, first published in 1906, remains one of London’s most celebrated works, complementing The Call of the Wild with its reverse narrative—where a wild creature is gradually domesticated rather than a domesticated one returning to the wild. White Fang is an unforgettable tale of endurance, transformation, and the enduring bond between humans and animals.

  Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray's relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps."
