The Call of the Wild

Summary

Jack London's "The Call of the Wild" is an incredible story about loyalty, betrayal, trust, friendship, and the hardships of life in the far north. And all of this is described from an unprecedented perspective - the entire story is a series of heart-gripping adventures of a sled dog. A memorable tale with a deep, instructive message that provides excellent reading satisfaction for readers of all ages.

Buck, a mix of St. Bernard and Scottish Shepherd, is a strong and resilient creature, ideal for pulling dog sleds in the frosty Alaska. However, even HE fights with all his might to survive under the yoke of inexperienced, harsh, and often cruel human hands and the consistently deadly nature. When he is sold to a dog trader in the autumn of 1897, his peaceful life comes to an end, and arduous struggles begin. Fate throws him from place to place, transfers him from owner to owner, showing the dog the entire range of human and animal behaviors in extreme situations. As events unfold, his wild nature also awakens in the canine hero - a desire for unlimited, human-uncontrolled freedom and liberty. The call of blood increasingly calls him to break free from the harness and return to his roots.
