White Fang

Jack London

Sinopse

"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.

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.

A Christmas Carol

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 and the first edition, published on 19th December, was so successful that it sold out in just six days. The publishers had to produce two further editions between Christmas and the new year to meet the demand, and the novella has never been out of print.
A Christmas Carol tells the story of a greedy money-lender, Ebenezer Scrooge, who is first visited by the ghost of his former business partner and then by three spirits - the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. They show Scrooge's lack of compassion to him, compelling him to act more compassionately in the future and to honor Christmas in his heart.
