The Call of the Wild
Synopsis
Buck, a comfortable California dog, is stolen and sold into the brutal work of the Klondike gold rush. London tracks the moment a domesticated animal remembers an older life, and he does not sentimentalize either the men or the cold. Loyalty survives. Softness does not.
