The Call of the Wild

Jack London

One of London's most popular novels, The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog named, Buck who is abducted from a comfortable life as a pet and tossed into the maelstrom of the Yukon Gold Rush. While facing the brutal realities of frontier life, Buck changes hands a number of times before landing into the kindly hands of John Thornton. Buck finds solace in his respite but it is short lived when he cannot resist the call of the wild? This classic book brings out the true spirit of the Gold Rush days at the turn of the last century and portrays the brutality, kindness, love, and folly that Jack London experienced during his time in the far north.
