The Call of the Wild is set in the Klondike wilderness in 1903. It depicts a dog’s battle for survival and man’s yearning for adventure against the backdrop of the Yukon gold rush. The story reflects the law-of-survival world with choices controlled by the environment and circumstance.
White Fang is the antithesis sequel to The Call of the Wild. The story shows the dominance of the environment over heredity. It is a tale of triumph as a primitive brute becomes a model pet.
