"A mordant parable ... his masterpiece." - E.L. Doctorow
This elegant pocket edition presents Jack London's classic animal story, The Call of the Wild, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges.
Jack London's most famous novel, The Call of the Wild, is an atmospheric tale of dog, Buck, as he is kidnapped from his pampered life as a pet and forced to work as a sled dog in Alaska. Passed from owner to owner, Buck goes through the mill at the hands of human beings: he is beaten into submission and mistreated before eventually being nursed back to health. This tale of a lonely dog forced to adapt in order to survive is an insightful study of pain, endurance and companionship.
