The Call of the Wild
Overview & Summary
Buck, a domesticated dog stolen from his comfortable California home, is sold into brutal service as a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush, where escalating cruelty and hardship gradually awaken his primal, ancestral instincts until he ultimately answers "the call of the wild" and joins a wolf pack. Jack London's 1903 novel is a classic adventure story exploring the tension between civilization and untamed nature.
