Synopsis

The Call of the Wild is an adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903. Buck, a strong dog accustomed to comfortable life in California, is stolen and sold to serve as a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. Taken into the harsh Yukon wilderness, Buck faces brutal conditions, competes for survival among other dogs, and endures demanding masters. As the environment strips away familiar comforts, he begins to change, developing more instinctive, primeval behavior. The story follows Buck’s struggle to endure the unforgiving cold and the forces that draw him away from domestication and back toward the wild.
