Jack London 
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 Silence- The Son of the Wolf – The Men of Forty Mile – In a Far Country – To the Man on Trail – The Priestly Perogative – The Wisdom of the Trail – The Wife of the King – An Odyssey of the North.
