"Colmillo Blanco" ilustrado, único en su clase. Colmillo Blanco es una novela del escritor estadounidense Jack London (1876-1916). Inicialmente aparecida por entregas en la revista Outing, fue publicada en 1906. La historia transcurre en el Territorio del Yukón, Canadá, durante la Fiebre del oro de Klondike a fines del siglo XIX. Narra el camino hacia la domesticación de un perro lobo salvaje. La mayor parte de la novela está escrita desde el punto de vista del personaje canino, lo que le permite a London explorar la forma en que los animales ven su mundo y a los seres humanos. Colmillo Blanco examina el violento mundo de los animales salvajes y el igualmente violento mundo de los humanos. La novela además explora temas complejos, como la moral y la redención. Ha sido adaptada al cine varias veces. Esta edición contiene 11 ilustraciones de Dino Di Lena, un reconocido artista italiano.

En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX Alaska fue el objetivo de muchas expediciones que buscaron fortuna con la explotación del oro. El Ártico es también el destino que le ha sido reservado a Buck, un formidable perro mestizo, hijo de un San Bernardo y de una pastora escocesa, que disfruta de una existencia apacible y civilizada hasta que es vendido para tirar de un trineo en los páramos helados de Alaska y Canadá. De poco servirá lo que ha aprendido hasta el momento. En este nuevo entorno hostil, rápidamente advierte que la única ley válida es la del ®garrote y el colmillo—, tan cruel como implacable. Buck se verá obligado a luchar por la propia supervivencia y conocerá la ferocidad de la naturaleza, que despertará en él atávicos instintos que habían permanecido dormidos mucho tiempo.
