"The Call of the Wild, a timeless adventure novel by Jack London, was first published in 1903. This gripping tale takes readers on a journey through the rugged wilderness of the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush. The story revolves around Buck, a remarkable dog—a crossbreed between a St. Bernard and a Scotch shepherd. Buck's carefree life in Santa Clara County, California is abruptly disrupted when he is stolen and transported northward. His journey leads him to the bustling town of Skagway, Alaska, and eventually to Dawson City, Yukon. Here, during the late 1890s gold rush, strong sled dogs are in high demand. As Buck adapts to his new life as part of a dog team delivery service, he discovers his primal instincts and learns to survive in the harsh Arctic environment. His bond with his last owner, John Thornton, takes him even further north, somewhere between Yukon and Alaska. Buck responds to "the call of the wild," shedding the comforts of civilization and embracing his true nature as a master of the wilderness 1. This captivating novel has also been adapted into films, including the 2020 movie of the same name. In the film, Buck's adventures come to life on the big screen, with an impressive cast including Harrison Ford, Omar Sy, and Cara Gee."
