Buck, a domesticated dog living in California, is abruptly uprooted from his comfortable life and sold into the harsh world of the Klondike Gold Rush. As he is transported to the Yukon Territory, Buck must adapt to the brutal realities of life as a sled dog, facing cruelty, hardship, and the primal call of the wild. Through his trials and tribulations, Buck gradually sheds his domesticity and embraces his ancestral instincts, ultimately rising to become a legendary leader of the wild wolf packs. Jack London vividly portrays the harsh beauty of the Alaskan wilderness and the primal forces that govern life in the wild. As a classic of American literature, The Call of the Wild continues to captivate readers with its thrilling adventure and profound exploration of the human spirit.
