Synopsis "Colmillo Blanco (in Spanish)"

La acción de Colmillo Blanco se desarrolla en un terreno fronterizo dominado por el hielo y la nieve, al que el escritor denomina las Tierras Vírgenes, y cuyos habitantes, ya sean blancos o indígenas, deben recorrer esforzadamente en trineos tirados por fuertes perros, haciendo frente al agreste paisaje y a la dureza de los elementos naturales y sobreviviendo gracias a la caza. Lo que Jack London cuenta sustancialmente en esta bella novela es la historia de un perro salvaje, Colmillo Blanco, desde su nacimiento hasta su madurez. Pero antes de ello ofrece unas primeras páginas de un atractivo casi hipnótico; pocas veces se ha descrito con tanta intensidad la dureza del paisaje y la lucha por la supervivencia entre los humanos y los animales en un medio sometido a las leyes naturales de la supervivencia y, por tanto, hostil. --Este texto se refiere a la edición Tapa blanda .

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.
