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

密林深处的呼唤。巴克是一条来自加利福尼亚的大狗,被人偷走,带到了遥远的北方。一天夜里,它猛然惊醒:森林里传来一声悠长的嚎叫,像狗叫,又不完全像。巴克穿过沉睡的营地,朝那叫声奔去。

The world of the book

淘金热的年代。加拿大遥远的北方发现了黄金。成千上万的人蜂拥而至,他们需要强壮、毛皮厚实的狗,在严寒中拉雪橇。
