Jack London, fue un escritor estadounidense, nacido en San Francisco, California. Esencialmente se autoeducó, proceso que llevó a cabo en la biblioteca pública de la ciudad leyendo libros. Agobiado por problemas económicos, London viajó a Alaska, seducido por la fiebre del oro. Años después, su capacidad literaria le permitió alcanzar éxito popular con una colección de relatos titulada "El hijo del lobo", a la que luego se sumarían obras como "Niños del bosque", "La llamada de la selva", "El lobo de mar", y posiblemente su obra más famosa, Colmillo, entre muchas otras.

The story takes place in Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th-century, and details a wild wolfdog''s journey to domestication. Much of the novel is written from the view-point of his canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption.Jack London was the most successful writer in America in the early twentieth century. He advocates Socialism and Darwinism in his works. His stories of men and women struggling for survival against the overwhelming power of nature are drawn mostly from his own life. His experiences at sea and during the Klondike gold-rush inspired his best-known works The Sea-Wolf, The Call of the Wild, and White Fang.

For the first time, the major works of this beloved writer are gathered together in one volume, that represents the most comprehensive volume of works of the Lebanese poet and philosopher ever published. This enriching collection of stories, prose poems, verse, parables and autobiographical essays comprising the major body of Kahlil Gibran''s works have been carefully translated and edited by a noted trio of Gibran scholars.Poet, artist, and mystic, Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 to a poor Christian family in Lebanon and immigrated to the United States as an adolescent. His masterpiece, The Prophet, a book of poetic essays that he began while still a youth in Lebanon, is one of the most cherished books of our time and has sold millions of copies in more than twenty languages since its publication in 1923. But all of Gibran''s works-essays, stories, parables, and prose poems-are imbued with equally powerful simplicity and wisdom, whether they are addressing marriage or children, friendship or grief, work or pleasure. Perhaps no other twentieth-century writer has touched the hearts and minds of so remarkably varied and widespread a readership.
