"Call of the Wild" by Jack London follows the journey of Buck, a powerful yet domesticated dog living in California. Buck is stolen from his comfortable home and sold into the brutal life of an Alaskan sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. As he faces harsh conditions and learns the ways of the wild, Buck gradually sheds his domesticated identity and reverts to his primal instincts. Throughout his adventures, he encounters both cruelty and camaraderie, ultimately discovering his true nature and the call of the wild that resonates within him. This powerful tale explores themes of survival, adaptability, and the struggle between civilization and the wild. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
