White Fang

Jack London

Synopsis

"He was a killer, a thing of claw and fang... until he learned the law of love."

Born in the freezing wilds of the North, White Fang is three-quarters wolf and one-quarter dog—a creature caught between two worlds. His early life is a brutal lesson in the "Law of Meat": eat or be eaten. From the cold caves of the Yukon to the cruel hands of Gray Beaver and the sadistic "Beauty" Smith, White Fang is molded into a fierce, solitary fighter. But his life takes a dramatic turn when he is rescued by Weedon Scott. Through patience and kindness, White Fang must undergo the ultimate trial: unlearning the instincts of the wild to discover the meaning of loyalty.

Nature vs. Nurture: Jack London uses White Fang's life as a laboratory to explore the power of environment. The novel demonstrates how cruelty creates a "monstrosity" of hate, while affection can transform a predator into a protector. It is a masterpiece of animal psychology that challenges our understanding of the boundary between "tame" and "wild."

The "Wild" Reimagined: The opening of the novel, featuring the terrifying pursuit of two men by a starving wolf pack, is one of the most famous sequences in literature. London portrays the North not as a playground, but as a "Wild" that is indifferent to human suffering, setting the stage for White Fang's incredible resilience.

The Final Transition: The climax takes White Fang from the snow-covered Yukon to the sun-drenched valleys of California. Here, he must face his final challenge: protecting his new family from a threat that his wild instincts are uniquely qualified to handle.

Witness the journey of a lifetime. Purchase "White Fang" today and experience the power of the bond between man and beast.

Ayala's Angel

Anthony Trollope

"This is Trollope's eightieth tale. Though it is the work of an older man, it is perhaps the brightest and freshest novel he ever wrote. The story of a young woman forced to choose a husband from among three unsavory men, the novel is remarkable for its wealth of minor characters and it  romantic exuberance."

The Doll - The Lost Short Stories

Daphne Du Maurier

“Early stories [that] vividly portrays with humor, candidness, and detail du Maurier’s fascination with the problems of human connection.” —Publishers Weekly

Compelling tales of human foibles and tragic romance, the stories in The Doll represent the emergence of a remarkable literary talent who later went on to create Jamaica Inn, The Birds, and other classic works. This breathtaking collection of short fiction belongs on the bookshelf of every Daphne du Maurier fan.

White Fang

Jack London

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.

Top 10 Short Stories The - Men...

D H Lawrence, F. Scott...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

War has ruined Nations and peoples. Revolution has followed in some. In the aftermath society slowly picks itself up, unaware that collapse is already beginning to ferment in its economic bastions. The authors of this decade are purposeful with their prose, describing and detailing with stories the brazen nature of this decade.

Kipps

H. G. Wells

First published in 1905 Kipps soon became H.G Wells’ most popular novel. It is a rags to riches story of a “simple soul” Arthur Kipps, a naïve young man who finds himself suddenly struggling to keep afloat in the deep waters of unlooked for wealth. He reaches out to those he considers his betters to anchor himself in this new world, so far removed from his relatively humble life of apprentice to a Draper. 
  
Young Kipps is quick to abandon his first love Ann for the allure of Helen Walsingham, whom he feels is more the match for the inevitable rise in his status which must surely follow his new found wealth. 
  
Wells lets the obviously humorous side of the situation naturally unfold, whilst subtly framing Kipps’ rise and fall in the context of the hypocrisies and futilities of Edwardian English society. 
Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
