About this book
Two men haul a coffin across the frozen North on a birch-bark sled, low on ammunition, ringed each night by gleaming eyes suspended in the blackness at the edge of their fire. A she-wolf with a strange reddish coat trots calmly onto the trail behind them, studies them with a wistfulness "bred of hunger, as cruel as its own fangs," and vanishes the instant a rifle rises. So Jack London opens White Fang: with the Wild itself as a presence, an old law that aims always to destroy movement, because life, to the Wild, is an offence.

كانت الريح قد أزالت قبل قليل الصقيع الأبيض عن الأشجار.
A recent wind had blown the white frost off the trees.
والآن بدت الأشجار كأنها تميل نحو بعضها، سوداء ومخيفة، في الضوء الخافت.
Now they seemed to lean toward each other, black and frightening, in the fading light.
غطّى صمت كبير الأرض.
A huge silence covered the land.
كانت الأرض نفسها فارغة وميتة وساكنة.
The land itself was empty, dead and still.
كانت باردة وموحشة جدًا حتى إنها لم تكن تشعر بالحزن.
It was so cold and lonely that it did not even feel sad.
كان فيها شيء يشبه الضحك، لكنه كان أسوأ من أي حزن.
There was something like laughter in it, but it was worse than any sadness.
