Call of the Wild
Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, Buck triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the 'decivilisation' of Buck as he answers 'the call of the wild', an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds.
