Features: This book is a collection of Jack London's best short stories, including well-known masterpieces such as The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and To Build a Fire. 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 wildness and humanity, with the wild ultimately taking the lead. Through this, the author profoundly reflects the "law of the jungle" of "the strong devour the weak." White Fang, on the other hand, forms a meaningful contrast with The Call of the Wild, meticulously depicting the "inner journey" of a wild little gray wolf that, after enduring hardships, eventually comes to recognize and embrace humanity. While revealing the power of wildness and the harsh laws of survival, the author ultimately affirms and celebrates the strength of humanity.
