Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Call of the Wild" by Jack London is an adventure novel published in 1903. Buck, a powerful dog living comfortably in California, is stolen and sold into service as a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. Thrust into the brutal Yukon wilderness, he must fight to survive among other dogs and harsh masters. As Buck endures the unforgiving environment, he grows increasingly primitive, shedding his domesticated life and answering an ancient instinct that pulls him toward something wild and primal.
