"The Call of the Wild" is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in
1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. The story
follows Buck, a powerful St. Bernard-Scotch Shepherd mix, who is stolen from
his home in California and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. Buck
becomes progressively more primitive and wild in the harsh environment, where
he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. The book's great
popularity and success made a reputation for London. The story is an example
of American pastoralism, in which the mythic hero returns to nature. The story
reflects human nature in its prevailing theme of strength, particularly in the
face of harsh circumstances. The veneer of civilization is thin and fragile,
and London exposes the brutality at the core of humanity and the ease with
which humans revert to a state of primitivism. The story was written as a
frontier adventure and in such a way that it worked well as a serial. It has
been published in 47 languages and secured London's prospects as a writer.
