The Call of the Wild by Jack London is a gripping adventure novel that follows the story of Buck, a powerful domestic dog who is stolen from his comfortable home in California and sold into the brutal life of an Alaskan sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. Thrust into a harsh and unforgiving wilderness, Buck must learn to adapt quickly to survive. Through hardship, cruelty, and fierce competition, he begins to shed his domesticated instincts and awaken the primal strength within him.
As Buck endures both kind and brutal masters, he eventually finds a deep bond with John Thornton, a compassionate prospector. But even with this loyalty, Buck feels increasingly drawn to the wild and the call of his ancient instincts. When tragedy strikes, Buck fully embraces his wild nature, joining a wolf pack and becoming a legendary figure in the forest. The Call of the Wild is both an adventure story and a powerful reflection on nature, survival, and the untamed spirit that lies within us all.
