The Call of The Wild (Pocket Classic)

Sled harness, frozen trails and the law of tooth and claw replace a California lawn in Jack London's short novel about a dog's return to instinct. Taken from his home and sold into the Klondike Gold Rush, Buck learns what the teams expect, what the drivers enforce and what the older part of him already knows. London compresses the argument into a few hundred pages: training is a thin coating, and country that was never tamed has the longer claim. This pocket edition carries the full text in a size made for a coat pocket or a bag. Things to expect: • The unabridged novel in a compact pocket classic format • Yukon winters, gold rush traffic and the working life of a sled team • A study of instinct reasserting itself against habit and command • A short book that can be finished in one or two sittings Good for students, adventure readers and anyone wanting a portable copy of a standard classic.
