The Call of the Wild by Jack London is a timeless classic that follows Buck, a large dog who is stolen from his home in California and sold into service as a sledge dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. Forced to adapt to the harsh climate and conditions, Buck experiences an awakening as he reverts to his ancestral wolf roots to survive. Through his journey, readers witness Buck's transformation from a civilized domestic dog to a primordial beast as he struggles for dominance, companionship and meaning in an unforgiving landscape. London's vivid descriptions transport readers to the vast wilderness of Yukon, evoking the raw and untamed spirit of the far north during one of the most pivotal eras in North American history. This thrilling adventure story remains as gripping today as it was over a century ago

Jack London

Jack London (1876-1916), whose life symbolized the power of will, was the most successful writer in America in the early 20th Century. His vigorous stories of men and animals against the environment and survival against hardships were drawn mainly from his own experience. An illegitimate child, London passed his childhood in poverty in the Oakland slums. At the age of 17, he ventured to sea on a sealing ship. The turning point of his life was a thirty-day imprisonment that was so degrading, it made him decide to turn to education and pursue a career in writing. His years in the Klondike searching for gold left their mark in his best short stories; among them, The Call of the Wild and White Fang. His best novel, The Sea-Wolf, was based on his experiences at sea. His work embraced the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism in its exploration of the laws of nature. He retired to his ranch near Sonoma, where he died at the age 40 of various diseases and drug treatments.
