The Call of the Wild


Book Description

A best-seller from its first publication in 1903, The Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a big mongrel dog who is shipped from his comfortable life in California to Alaska, where he must adapt to the harsh life of a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. The narrative recounts Buck’s brutal obedience training, his struggle to meet the demands of human masters, and his rise to the position of lead sled dog as a result of his superior physical and mental qualities. Finally, Buck is free to respond to the “call” of the wilderness. Over a hundred years after its publication, Jack London’s “dog story” retains the enduring appeal of a classic. This Broadview Edition includes a critical introduction that explores London’s life and legacy and the complex scientific and psychological ideas drawn upon by London in writing the story. The appendices include material on the Klondike, Darwin’s writings on dogs, other contemporary writings on instinct and atavism, and maps of the regions in which the story takes place.

This is the sorty of a lage dog, Buck. After starting life at a rich man's house in sunny California, he comes to work as a sled dog in the Yukon Territory of northern Canada during the gold rush of 1897. Pulling in dog teams, Buck travels along the ice of the Yukon River, carrying mail to and from the goldseekers of Dawson City, hundreds of mils at a time through the silent whiteness of the winter landscape.

This is the call to go back to a more primitive life in the forest, a life of long ago. When he meets up with his wild brother the wolf, Buck faces the decision of his life.
