Buck, a stolen California dog, is worked north into the Yukon. London tells the story from the animal’s side of the harness.

About the author

London’s Northland books put animals and people under the same pressure: cold, hunger, and the stories civilization tells about both. The Call of the Wild follows a dog out of California and into that pressure. More of this shelf for Jack London.
