The Call of the Wild by Jack London

Stolen from his comfortable home in California, Buck, a domesticated dog, is thrust into the brutal world of the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. Forced to become a sled dog, he endures hardship, cruelty, and betrayal, but also discovers his primal instincts and an untamed strength buried deep within him. As he adapts to the wild, he hears an ancient call—a call that pulls him further from the world of men and toward his true destiny. Jack London’s gripping tale of survival and transformation explores the clash between civilization and nature. A powerful and moving novel, The Call of the Wild remains one of literature’s greatest animal adventure stories.
