Buck, a loving and docile St. Bernard mix becomes forcibly changed
when he is nabbed from his home in sunny California and sold into
service as an Alaskan sled dog. Forced to endure the harsh climate
of the Yukon backcountry, Buck becomes progressively more savage in
an effort to stay alive among the other dogs in the pack. Relying
on primal instincts, Buck emerges as an intimidating and fearless
leader in the wild. Jack London's most famous tale is a stark
reminder of how important it is to trust one's instincts. Though
examined through the eyes of a dog, The Call of The Wild is a tale
far greater than that of a life lived on four paws. London's
intention is clear: When faced with dire and inhumane conditions,
there is nothing left to do but revert to a wild state fight to
stay alive. With a new note about the author, and a cleanly typeset
manuscript, this edition of London's poignant tale resonates just
as profoundly as when it was originally published in 1903. A new
film adaptation of this novel starring Harrison Ford and Omar Sy
released in 2020.

the story is amazing and i wanted this one for my collection but the print is tiny so the book is super thin. If it sits on a shelf you wont know what it is.
