Features: As time passed, the barking grew closer and louder. Buck once again realized: this was the sound he had long been haunted by. He walked to the middle of the clearing to listen closely. It was a call, a call in various tones, sounding more tempting and forceful than ever before. He had never been so willing to obey. John Thornton was dead. The last bond was broken. Humanity and its commands could no longer control him. This book is a collection of Jack London's masterpiece, The Call of the Wild and White Fang. The Call of the Wild tells the story of the great dog Buck, who gradually returns to his wild nature and reenters the wilderness. This process is filled with the interplay and struggle between wilderness and humanity, with the wilderness ultimately taking the lead. On the surface, it is about a dog, but in essence, it reflects the human world. White Fang is a companion piece to The Call of the Wild, forming a meaningful contrast with it. It meticulously portrays how a wild young wolf enters the civilized world of humans. While revealing the power of wilderness and the harsh laws of survival, the author ultimately affirms and praises the strength of humanity.
