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.
