Inhaltsangabe

In this classic American adventure, Jack London explores the laws of civilization and wilderness―and the pull of instinct―through the eyes of Buck, a half Saint Bernard, half Scottish shepherd. Stolen from his comfortable life in California, Buck is sold into service as a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush, where returning to his primordial nature is the only way for him to survive.

London drew on his own experiences as a prospector in the Canadian wilderness, as well as the philosophies of Charles Darwin and Friedrich Nietzsche, for this enduring tale of survival.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Call of the Wild, this edition of The Call of the Wild (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Griffith “Jack” London (1876–1916) was a journalist, activist, adventurer, pirate, and author who penned eighteen novels in addition to numerous plays, poems, and works of short fiction. As a young man, London briefly attended UC Berkeley but dropped out to search for gold in the Klondike―an experience that proved rich for two of his most famous novels: The Call of the Wild and White Fang. In addition to his political activism in socialist and workers’ rights causes, London also sought to raise public awareness about animal cruelty. London was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity, as well as a large fortune, from his writing.
