The Call of the Wild is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of survival, loyalty, and the power of nature. It is a timeless classic that has captivated readers for over a century.Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tidewater dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
