Features: In the Gold Rush era, the fate of a dog is tragic, but what if it's a supremely intelligent one? This book revolves around the life of such a dog—Buck. Leaving his warm and comfortable home, a brutal beating taught him a lesson: dogs can never win with a club; pulling sleds taught him the second lesson: only the fittest survive; dueling with Native Americans taught him the third lesson: nothing is unconquerable! In a short time, he stood out, defeated Spitz, and replaced him as the new leader of the sled team, becoming renowned far and wide. He saved his owner, Thornton, who was trapped in the water, diving into the water several times, regardless of everything. He longed for the wild life of his ancestors but also deeply cherished his owner. Where should he go? At this moment, his owner met with a tragic fate, and the howls of wolves echoed in the distance, calling out "The Call of the Wild."
The author of "The Call of the Wild" is the famous American novelist Jack London, born in San Francisco, California in 1876. He wrote approximately 50 volumes of works in his lifetime. His life was fraught with misfortune; he worked as a child laborer, drifted at sea in adulthood, trekked across snowy landscapes, and even suffered from blood poisoning, enduring the hardships of life. His short stories, which carry a legendary and romantic touch, mostly depict the lives of indigenous people and white settlers in the Pacific islands and the icy wilderness of Alaska. Most of them can be said to be adventure stories from his short life.
