Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this new resized edition of The Call of the Wild, complete with a bold new cover. 'To Buck it was boundless delight, this hunting, fishing, and indefinite wandering through strange places.' Pampered dog Buck lives a comfortable life in Santa Clara Valley, where he spends his days eating and sleeping in the golden sunshine. But one day a terrible act of betrayal leads to his kidnap, and he is forced into a life of work and danger. Dragged away to be a sledge dog in the harsh and freezing cold Yukon, Buck must fight for his place in the wilderness - and a place to call home.
In Call of the Wild, Buck lives as a pampered house dog in
California. He eats well, sleeps when he wants, and is treated with
affection by his owners—that is, until he is abducted by thieves
and pressed into service as a sled dog for the Klondike Gold Rush.
Mistreated by a succession of abusive owners, Buck comes to realize
that the key to survival is channeling the instinctive wildness of
his heritage, hitherto buried deep beneath the veneer of civilized
life. White Fang tells the story of prospector Weedon Scott and
White Fang, the dog he rescues from a cruel dog-fighter. Though the
wolf-dog pup at first seems savage beyond rehabilitation, Scott's
kind ministrations and earnest friendship eventually open the
dog’s heart to an acceptance of domestication. Written in the
first decade of the twentieth century, Call of the Wild and White
Fang are landmark tales of adventure that put Jack London’s
writing career on the map. They are also the work of a writer with
an exquisite understanding of the dynamic between civilization and
savagery. Â
