The Call of the Wild
This is a brand new hardcover leather-bound edition of The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Part St. Bernard, part Scotch shepherd, Buck is a sturdy crossbreed canine accustomed to a comfortable life as a family dog -- until he's seized from his pampered surroundings and shipped to Alaska to be a sled dog.
There, the forbidding landscape is as harsh as life itself during the gold rush of the 1890s.
Forced to function in a climate where every day is a savage struggle for survival, Buck adapts quickly.
Traces of his earlier existence are obliterated and he reverts to his dormant primeval instincts, encountering danger and adventure as he becomes the leader of a wolf pack and undertakes a journey of nearly mythical proportions.
Superb details, taken from Jack London's firsthand knowledge of Alaskan frontier life, make this classic tale of endurance as gripping today as it was over a century ago.
