White Fang by Jack London

I discovered this just by chance, flicking through Amazon list of Kindle books, and I started reading. I absolutely loved it. White Fang is a wolf. The novel is in 3rd person, but we always see what he is thinking about events. Cue lots of not understanding and instinctive animal emotions. Very interesting stuff.

For example, the humans present throughout are described as "gods". Philosophical point: the desire to ascribe that which we do not understand to something that we cannot understand.

The first section is slightly separate from the rest, but it was my favourite section. It told the story of two men being hunted by wolves (one of which was to be the mother of White Fang). It really got across the power of nature over man and a long drawn out struggle where man was reduced to animal. 

We then saw White Fang's life. The brutality of mankind in their treatment of animals is described. white Fang becomes the greatest fighting wolf the world has seen. He is put into dog fights and is deadly. However, one man takes pity on White Fang and tames him. They all live happily ever after.

I found White Fang to be a really fascinating book. It was written remarkably well and has a very interesting twist, of seeing a wolf's story.
