"The Call of the Wild" is a classic novel by Jack London that follows the journey of Buck, a domesticated dog, who is thrust into the wild during the Klondike Gold Rush. Abducted from his comfortable home, Buck is sold into the brutal world of sled dog teams. As he faces the harsh realities of survival and the lure of the wild, he learns to embrace his primal instincts and ancestral heritage. Buck's transformation from a pampered pet to a fierce, independent creature serves as a poignant exploration of freedom, nature, and the instinctual call that resides within all living beings.
