The Call of the Wild

by Jack London

Buck, a powerful young dog, is snatched away from an easy life in California and transported to the Far North. The Klondike at the turn of the century is filled with greedy prospectors for gold, wild Indians, and savage wolves. Buck becomes a sled dog and must learn cunning and toughness to survive. Trained by a master he comes to love, Buck becomes the strongest and fiercest sled dog in all of Alaska. But deep inside Buck feels the urge to be free of man's rule and to heed "the call of the wild."

Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

An outstanding book written by an outstanding man. Read it! It's about a dog...and the world as a whole.

I like dogs well enough, but am admittedly not usually for stories in which they’re the sole voice; however this was just lovely.

Maybe it's because I'm not a dog, but I just don't find it interesting being in the mind of Buck. I was very excited to read this because so many people raved about it, but it just didn't hold my interest even as a child.
