Episode 3 of 5

White Fang is sold by Grey Beaver to the unlovely and violent Beauty. From the first, Beauty is vicious and maltreats the dog who has no choice but to submit.

White Fang is a novel by American author Jack London (1876–1916) — and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild wolfdog. First serialized in Outing magazine, it was published in 1906.

The story details White Fang's journeys through Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-knownwork, The Call of the Wild (1903), which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild.
