The Call of the Wild (1903) is Jack London's most renowned novel. It was immensely popular upon its release and continues to be a beloved classic. The novel is also regarded as a seminal work of the naturalist literary movement. The Call of the Wild shares many similarities with White Fang, depicting the journey of a dog who endures the harshness of nature before finding kindness with a compassionate owner.
John Barleycorn (1913) is London's brutally honest narrative of his battle with alcoholism, published just a few years before his death. This is his only significant autobiographical work, and it recounts his travels, adventures, and personal struggles with alcohol.
My First Summer in the Sierra (1911) by John Muir is the most celebrated work of the renowned conservationist. It chronicles a summer Muir spent in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1869. This book, along with Muir's other writings, played a crucial role in attracting American tourists to wilderness areas and promoting the expansion of the national park system.
The Red Badge of Courage (1895) by Stephen Crane narrates the experiences of a young soldier during the Civil War. Crane examines how the soldier's inherent qualities and his environment shape his character and actions. Similar to White Fang, The Red Badge of Courage has achieved both literary acclaim and widespread popularity, and it is considered a significant work of American naturalism.
Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod (1994) by Gary Paulsen is the author's recounting of his 1983 participation in the Iditarod, Alaska's renowned and challenging dogsled race. Paulsen, who began the 1,150-mile, seventeen-day race by getting lost, faced many of the same trials depicted in London's fiction, including extreme cold, exhaustion, wildlife attacks, and dogfights.
