It teaches of theories like Naturalism, Retrogression, Nietzsche's Philosophy, and Darwinism to make all the changes and experiences that form Buck, the head dog, and best dog to ever set "paw" on the Klondike icy snow.-Submitted by Anonymous This is definitely not a Walt Disney book. The desire to be truly free.-Submitted by Sonia Renthlei The story awakens in us something forgotten.
Forgotten senses are awakened and survival is key. Buck takes us on a journey where the shackles of civilization are left behind, leading us to the unknown but familiar past. This is the story of Buck, who is sold by his loving master's servant to begin his life as a sled dog, when gold was discovered in the South. Doesn't this hold true for us as well? The novel has a universal appeal - it is deeper than what meets the eyes in the first read.-Submitted by Anonymous.Ī beautiful tale of a 'house dog' torn from the comforts of hearth and home into the unforgiving wild. For, that meant being torn apart by other dogs of the pack. Among all the lessons that he learned, one of the first and the most important was never to fall. But aren't we humans forced too? Forced by the compulsion of greed, of having more, and yet more? Buck fought for supremacy among other dogs, Buck fought to be the leader, Buck killed, Buck protected those who needed protection, and Buck saved, even his master, from death. There's a difference though, Buck was forced. Buck could have been the name of one of those gold hunters who had left their comfortable lives to venture into the frozen wild in search of gold. In fact, it had just begun - will he answer the call of the wild? It's more than just a childre's story or merely a dog's story, it's our story. Buck becomes the best sledge dog ever that walked the frozen trails to the land of gold. In the process, his natural killer instincts, made dormant by his brush with civilisation, awaken. Buck's journey through the harsh landscapes as a sledge dog, passing from one master to another, teaches him to survive in the ways of the wild. He was sold by his master's trusted servant to men heading south in search of that precious yellow metal-gold. A man's greed stole Buck's comfortable life. Jack London’s Call of the Wild is the story of a dog's journey from living a cocooned life in sunny California, to the unforgiving frozen dunes of the arctic.
