The Call of the Wild

Buck, a powerful domestic dog stolen from a comfortable California home, is sold into the brutal world of Klondike sled teams during the Gold Rush. As he endures cruelty, cold, and the savagery of the pack, ancient instincts awaken in him until he answers the wild’s irresistible summons. Told largely from the dog’s point of view, London’s short, ferocious masterpiece is at once a thrilling adventure and a meditation on nature, survival, and the thin line between civilization and the primal. One of the most widely read American novels ever written, it remains a stirring, unforgettable story of transformation.
