Synopsis "Colmillo Blanco (in Spanish)"

Ambientada en la vida agreste y salvaje de una frontera que trasciende su mero carácter físico para convertirse en una encarnación del conflicto entre la naturaleza y el ser humano alienado en ella, COLMILLO BLANCO es una de las obras más célebres de Jack London (1872-1916). Reverso casi simétrico de «La llamada de la naturaleza» (BA 0940), en la historia del perro salvaje que, significativamente, se degrada en su contacto con el hombre, hallamos en efecto, matizadas por la belleza de los grandes escenarios naturales y una remota esperanza de redención, las inquietudes que rigen toda la obra del autor estadounidense: el choque entre civilización y naturaleza, la perpetua pugna entre el bien y el mal, la supervivencia del más fuerte, el determinismo genético, la selección natural.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
