The Call of the Wild
by Jack London
"Call of the Wild" is the story of Buck, a dog who is stolen from his home and pushed into the cruel life of the North Pole to withstand the troubles of man and monster, severe cold and brutal lawlessness. White Fang is the adventure of an animal - part dog, part wolf - transformed by brutal violence, then transformed by the patience and love of a person. Jack London's extraordinary abilities as a narrator and his incredible understanding of animal and human nature give these tales an impressive vitality and power, earning him a reputation as an outstanding American writer.
