Sarah Courtauld Knihy

Již více než sto let provází malé i velké čtenáře příběh Bílého tesáka, psa, v jehož žilách koluje i vlčí krev. Se zatajeným dechem sledujeme na stránkách knihy jeho osud: od prvních štěněčích krůčků až po tvrdé zápasy dospělého psího samotáře. Boj o život v ledových pustinách Aljašky i mezi krutými lidskými zbabělci, hledání té pravé lidské smečky, úzkost i slzy dojetí – to všechno jsou přísady, které z Jacka Londona dělají mistra knih odvahy a dobrodružství. Bílý tesák patří mezi nejslavnější autorova díla, příběh byl zfilmován a posloužil jako námět pro oblíbený seriál.
