The Son of the Wolf

Jack London gained his first and most lasting fame as the author of tales of the Klondike gold rush. This, his first collection of stories, draws on his experience in the Yukon. The stories tell of gambles won and lost, of endurance and sacrifice, and often turn on the qualities of exceptional women and on the relations between the white adventurers and the native tribes. Stories included are:The White SilenceThe Son of the WolfThe Men of Forty MileIn A Far CountryTo The Man On the TrailThe Priestly PrerogativeThe Wisdom of the TrailThe Wife of a KingAn Odyssey of the North
