The call of the wild

This triumphant tale of survival, the greatest of Jack London’s works, relates the adventures of Buck, half St. Bernard and half-Scottish sheepdog, who is forced into the brutal life of a sled dog during the heady days of the alaska gold rush. Set in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the Far North, the story follows Buck as he grows daily in strength, savagery, and cunning, adapting to his hostile circumstances by responding to the stirring of his primitive ancestral traits. This unabridged edition offers young readers a fine introduction to the excitement of the classic adventure novel.
