A dog named Buck is kidnapped from a cosy existence as a pet and thrown into the chaos of the Yukon Gold Rush in one of London's most well-known books, The Call of the Wild. Before coming into the good hands of John Thornton, Buck encounters the harsh realities of life on the frontier and changes hands a number of times. While Buck enjoys his rest, it is brief since he can't withstand the pull of the wild. The cruelty, compassion, love, and foolishness that Jack London encountered while living in the far north are all depicted in this famous book, which captures the genuine spirit of the Gold Rush era at the turn of the last century.
