Buck, a large and comfortable dog on a Californian estate, is stolen and sold north to serve as a sled dog in the Klondike gold rush. Under the whip and the cold he learns the law of club and fang, changes masters, and hears — with growing insistence — the call of the wild.

Jack London published the story in 1903 after his own time in the Yukon. It made his name and remains his most read book: a short, unsentimental novel of survival, told from the animal’s point of view without pretending the animal is a person.
