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 against a club; dog sledding life taught him the second lesson: only the fittest survive; the duel with the Indians taught him the third lesson: nothing is unconquerable! He quickly stood out, defeated Spitz, and took his place as the new leader of the sled team, becoming renowned far and wide. He repeatedly plunged into the water to save his master, Thornton, who was trapped in the water, without hesitation. He longed for the wild life of his ancestors but was also deeply attached to his master—where should he go? At this moment, his master 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, who was born in San Francisco, California, in 1876. He wrote approximately 50 volumes of works in his lifetime. His fate was fraught with hardship; he worked as a child laborer, drifted at sea, traveled across snowy landscapes, and even suffered from blood poisoning, enduring the hardships of life. His short stories, which are imbued with a legendary and romantic charm, mostly depict the lives of indigenous people and white settlers on the Pacific islands and in the Alaskan snow-covered wilderness. Most of them can be said to be adventure stories from his short life.
