THE CALL OF THE WILD By JACK LONDON - (Fine Print Edition)Publication date: 1903

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on…‘ Set in the frozen forests of the Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s, ‘White Fang’ tells the story of a young wolf-dog’s journey from the wild into human territory. As White Fang learns that civilisation is every bit as vicious and violent as nature – and that survival is only awarded to the fittest – we too see how instinct, sensation and emotion drive every one of us. Published in 1906 to wide and instant acclaim, this is a remarkable and moving look at the timeless relationship between man and dog.

The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by Jack London that was first published in 1908. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the rise of a fictional oligarchic dictatorship in the United States, known as the Iron Heel. The novel is written in the form of a memoir by Avis Everhard, the wife of a socialist revolutionary, who documents the events that led to the rise of the Iron Heel and the subsequent revolution against it. The novel is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the rise of the Iron Heel and the second part detailing the revolution against it. The third part is a collection of documents, including newspaper articles, speeches, and government reports, that provide additional context and insight into the events of the novel. Throughout the novel, London explores themes of socialism, capitalism, revolution, and the struggle between the working class and the ruling class. The novel is notable for its depiction of a future dystopian society that is controlled by a small group of wealthy elites, and for its portrayal of the revolutionary movement that rises up against them. The Iron Heel has been praised for its political and social commentary, as well as its engaging narrative and well-developed characters. It has been cited as an influence on other dystopian novels such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. This Is A New Release Of The Original 1907 Edition.
