Adventure

White Fang

by Jack London

A wolf-dog is beaten into wildness and then, slowly, coaxed back out of it by one man’s persistent decency. It is the mirror image of another book on this very shelf, and I suspect London wrote them as a matched pair on purpose. Kindness, in this one, turns out to be exactly as durable as cruelty, just slower to show its work.
