“But he was not made for a harness. He was not made for a cage. He was made for the wild. And so, when the call of the wild came to him, he answered it.”

Both human and animal inherently carry some ingrained humanity and animalistic tendencies. This enthralling adventure explores two sides of the primal nature of both species. This is the story of Buck, a domesticated dog stolen from his home and sold into the brutal life of an Alaskan sled dog house. Buck encounters different kinds of animals, from kind-hearted to ruthless and cruel ones. Through his different experiences, he learns to tune into his inherent instincts to survive and eventually lead the sled dogs. Buck’s heart-warming transformation from a pampered pet to a rugged, resilient, and self-protective creature is at the heart of this gripping narrative; a reminder that the living creature always knows how to survive and adapt.

Jack London

John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.
