Features: Popular Edition of World Literature Masterpieces. This book is a collection of the best short and medium-length stories by the renowned American writer Jack London, including well-known masterpieces such as The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and To Love and Be Loved. The Call of the Wild tells the story of a loyal dog gradually reverting to its wild nature and returning to the wilderness. This process is filled with the interplay and struggle between wilderness and humanity, with the wild ultimately taking the lead. Through this, the author profoundly reflects the "law of the jungle" of "the strong survive and the weak perish." White Fang, on the other hand, forms a meaningful contrast with The Call of the Wild, meticulously depicting the "inner journey" of a wild young gray wolf as it endures hardships and eventually comes to recognize and embrace humanity. While revealing the power of wilderness and the harsh survival rules, the author ultimately affirms and praises the strength of humanity.
