The Call of the Wild
Fiction e-Book-of-the-Month, Dec 1999. IN THIS THRILLING ADVENTURE STORY set against the backdrop of the 1890s gold rush, Jack London takes readers on an exhilirating trek across the vista of the Alaskan landscape. Buck, an ordinary family dog used to a life of ease, is stolen, and sold to dog traffickers. Thrust from his old life, Buck finds himself on a team of sled dogs, whose existence is defined by runs across the brutal Klondike winter. Here, in this forbidding world, where each day finds him struggling for survival, the vestiges of Buck's familiar life are erased as his primordial instincts, buried for generations, are savagely awakened. London's classic tale resonates with its theme of the tenuous balance between nature and will, and is as gripping today as it was a hundred years ago.
