V jednom zo svojich najrozsiahlejších príbehov, po ktorom už takmer storočie siahajú starí i mladí, Jack London pútavo rozohráva motív priateľstva v drsných podmienkach krásnej, ale zradnej aljašskej divočiny. Hoci jeho hrdina Biely tesák pochádza zo samého jej srdca, musí sa podriaďovať nielen vlčím, ale i ľudským zákonom. Na vlastnej koži spoznáva dobro i zlo spolu s necnosťami koruny tvorstva, ktorou nazýva sám seba človek. Prežitie vo večne sa meniacich podmienkach nezávisí len od jeho inteligencie, ale predovšetkým od schopnosti prispôsobiť sa podmienkam vo vlčej či ľudskej svorke. Všade - v prostredí bielych nehostinných hôr a plání, v povodí rieky Mackenzie medzi Indiánmi, v surových rukách Krásavca Smitha alebo v rodine Scottovcov v teplej Kalifornii - získava nové poznatky o príkorí a nespravodlivosti, ale aj o láske spoločnej všetkým živým tvorom.
