Call of the Wild

Book • 2000

The Call of the Wild follows the story of Buck, a Saint Bernard and Scotch Shepherd mix, who is abducted from his comfortable life as a pet in California and sold to work as a sled dog in the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush.

Buck faces brutal treatment and harsh conditions but eventually finds kindness with John Thornton.

As Buck navigates his new life, he is torn between his loyalty to Thornton and his growing desire to answer the 'call of the wild'.

The novel explores themes of survival, individualism, and the conflict between nature and nurture, reflecting London's experiences and observations during his time in the Yukon.
