The Call of the Wild
London, Jack ; White, Michelle M.
Synopsis "The Call of the Wild"
"There was imperative need to be constantly alert, for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang."b>. The Call of the Wild has endured over one hundred years as an unforgettable adventure story about a dog and his humans as they test the thin line between civilization and the wild. Immerse yourself in the sometimes heartfelt and sometimes brutal story of Buck as he goes from the life of a pampered pet to a new existence ruled by primal instinct. The action swiftly moves along from one exciting chapter to the next, keeping the pages turning to the end.

Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
