Críticas
"This is the best scholarly edition of The Call of the Wild currently available, with a superb, wide-ranging introduction by Nicholas Ruddick that is a model of judicious lucidity. The edition is also greatly enhanced by a series of fascinating primary documents situating the novella in an array of turn-of-the-twentieth-century cultural contexts, including the Klondike gold rush, Darwin on dogs and men, theories of atavism and instinct, and controversies surrounding charges of plagiarism against Jack London. Highly recommended." - Jonathan Auerbach, University of Maryland "This is the best scholarly edition of The Call of the Wild currently available, with a superb, wide-ranging introduction by Nicholas Ruddick that is a model of judicious lucidity.

Reseña del editor
The Call of the Wild is a classic of young adult literature, and this edition provides a wealth of information on the work's literary and cultural backgrounds. A best-seller from the moment of its publication, Jack London's ""The Call of the Wild"" (1903) is about Buck, a big mongrel who is shipped from his comfortable life in California to Alaska, where he must adapt to the harsh life of a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. Over the past hundred years London's 'dog story' has proved to have the enduring and universal appeal of the great classic. It has been translated into more than eighty languages and is one of the best-loved works of fiction in all of world literature. This is the only edition with appendices. It includes material on the North, Darwinism, and the history of psychology.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A best-seller from its first publication in 1903, The Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a big mongrel dog who is shipped from his comfortable life in California to Alaska, where he must adapt to the harsh life of a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. The narrative recounts Buck's brutal obedience training, his struggle to meet the demands of human masters, and his rise to the position of lead sled dog as a result of his superior physical and mental qualities. Finally, Buck is free to respond to the 'call' of the wilderness. Over a hundred years after its publication, Jack London's 'dog story' retains the enduring appeal of a classic.
