Dall'Apocalissi festosa de L'ultimo capodanno dell'umanità alle peripezie del picciotto Albertino protagonista di Fango , i racconti di Niccolò Ammaniti mettono in scena i nuovi eroi di un'umanità borderline e metropolitana, capace di passare con leggerezza da una modesta aspirazione a un efferato delitto. Sono racconti che mescolano tutti i generi, dall'horror alla commedia all'italiana, trovando infine in una grottesca vena comica il vero elemento comune.

Jack London's classic adventure story about the friendship developed between a Yukon gold hunter and the mixed dog-wolf he rescues from the hands of a man who mistreats him. White Fang is a companion novel and thematic mirror to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild.

Born in the unforgiving wilderness of the Yukon Territory of Canada, White Fang, a fierce wolfdog shunned by his adoptive family, fights tooth and nail to survive amongst brutal beasts, wolves and hunter men. But when he's shown unexpected kindness from Weedon Scott, a man who takes White Fang in after rescuing him from a dog-fighting ring, he slowly begins to change. The once ferocious and aggressive White Fang becomes gentler, discovering that loyalty and love can tame even the wildest of hearts.

This is the story of a wild dog's journey toward becoming civilized in the Canadian Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, at the end of the 19th Century.

White Fang examines (sometimes graphically) the violent world of wild dogs and the equally violent world of supposedly civilized humans.
