The Call of the Wild = The Call of the Ancestors

The Call of the Ancestors — one of the early works of Jack London. The main character of the novel is a dog, which is why it is often considered a children's book. However, the maturity and depth of ideas... in this work make it relevant for adult readers as well. It touches on themes such as survival of the fittest, the conflict between civilization and nature, fate and free will.
The action of the novel takes place in Yukon (Canada) during the gold rush. At that time, the demand for large and strong dogs was particularly high. The dog Buck, a mix of a Scottish shepherd and a St. Bernard, was brought from a ranch in California to the north. Buck finds himself in the harsh reality of life as a sled dog. The novel tells the story of the challenges Buck faces in trying to survive in these new conditions.
The book contains the full unadapted text of the novel along with comments and a glossary.
