The Call of the Wild is a classic novel written by Jack London. The story follows a dog named Buck, who is stolen from his comfortable life in California and sold into the brutal world of the Yukon during the gold rush of the 1890s. Buck is forced to adapt to his new life as a sled dog, facing harsh weather conditions, cruel treatment from his handlers, and fierce competition from other dogs. As he struggles to survive in this harsh new world, Buck begins to tap into his primal instincts, embracing his wild side and becoming more and more like his wolf ancestors. Along the way, he forms a bond with a kind-hearted man named John Thornton, who helps him realize his true potential and leads him on a journey of self-discovery. 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.
