The Call of the Wild

Author: Jack London

“The Call of the Wild” by Jack London is a gripping tale that transports readers to the rugged Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. Following the journey of Buck, a domesticated dog thrust into the wild, the story explores themes of survival, instinct, and transformation. I remember reading it on a chilly winter evening, feeling the biting cold and raw adventure seep through the pages. London’s vivid storytelling makes you root for Buck at every turn, making it a timeless classic.

He was a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survived.
