Book summary

Buck, a pet dog used to a peaceful life, is stolen and sold as a sledge dog in the Far North, in the middle of the gold rush. Under the whip and in the cold, he learns the law of the strongest, and the wild instinct of his ancestors slowly awakens in him.

A powerful adventure about survival and freedom, in which the wild takes back its own.

Jack London's direct, vivid style makes it an ideal first classic to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

森の奥から、呼び声が。カリフォルニアの大きな犬バックは、盗まれて遥かな北の地へ連れてこられた。ある夜、バックははっと目を覚ます。森の奥から、長い遠吠えが響いてくる。犬の声に似て、どこか違う。バックは眠る野営地を駆け抜け、その声のほうへ走っていく。

The world of the book

ゴールドラッシュの時代。カナダの遥かな北の地で金が見つかった。何千もの男たちが押し寄せ、寒さの中でそりを引く、毛の厚い力強い犬を求めていた。
