Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Call of the Wild is a novel by Jack London published in 1903. The story is set in the Yukon during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush—a period when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The novel's central character is a dog named Buck, a domesticated dog living at a ranch in California as the story opens. Stolen from his home and sold into the brutal existence of an Alaskan sled dog, he reverts to atavistic traits. Buck is forced to adjust to, and survive, cruel treatments and fight to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. Eventually he sheds the veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and lessons he learns, to emerge as a leader in the wild. London lived for most of a year in the Yukon collecting material for the book. The story was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903; a month later it was released in book form. The novel’s great popularity and success made a reputation for London. Much of its appeal derives from the simplicity with which London presents the themes in an almost mythical form. As early as 1908 the story was adapted to film and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations.

Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong musc-les by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost. Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Judge Miller's place, it was called. It stood back from the road, half hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house was approached by gravelled driveways which wound about through widespreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At the rear things were on even a more spacious scale than at the front. There were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vineclad servants' cottages, an endless and orderly array of outhouses, long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. Then there was the pumping plant for the artesian well, and the big cement tank where Judge Miller's boys took their morning plunge and kept cool in the hot afternoon.

Here he was born, and here hehad lived the four years of his life. It was true, there were otherdogs, There could not but be other dogs on so vast a place, but they didnot count. They came and went, resided in the populous kennels, or livedobscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of Toots, theJapanese pug, or Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, --strange creatures thatrarely put nose out of doors or set foot to ground. On the other hand, there were the fox terriers, a score of them at least, who yelpedfearful promises at Toots and Ysabel looking out of the windows at themand protected by a legion of housemaids armed with brooms and mops.But Buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his.He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge's sons;he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge's daughters, on long twilightor early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge's feetbefore the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge's grandsons on hisback, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their footsteps throughwild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and evenbeyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among theterriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterlyignored, for he was king, --king over all creeping, crawling, flyingthings of Judge Miller's place, humans included.

Here is the complete text of the novel with the followings annotations: * Historical context: The Call of the Wild took place during the Klondike gold rush during the 1890s. At this particular time, over 30,000 individuals visited the location around the junction of the Yukon and Klondike rivers in Yukon territory, just east of what is now Alaska. *literary analysis: London uses this incident to show the difference between the value of objects in society and the wilderness. In society, the purpose of material possessions is to show off an owner's wealth or status, which is frivolous. * Quotes: Jack London Quotes: The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. * Biographical Information: Biographical Information: Jack London is an American novelist, journalist and activist born John Griffith Chaney (January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916). He was a pioneer of American magazines and commercial fiction, and was among the first American writers to attain international.

Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "THE CALL OF THE WILD & WHITE FANG” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Call of the Wild – A dog named Buck gets stolen from his home in Santa Clara Valley, California, and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. White Fang – A wolf-dog raised in an Indian camp runs away only to face the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. White Fang grows to become a savage, callous, morose, solitary, and deadly fighter. The story takes place in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. His amazing life experience also includes being an oyster pirate, railroad hobo, gold prospector, sailor, war correspondent and much more. He wrote adventure novels & sea tales, stories of the Gold Rush, tales of the South Pacific and the San Francisco Bay area - most of which were based on or inspired by his own life experiences. “There is a patience of the wild—dogged, tireless, persistent as life itself—that holds motionless for endless hours the spider in its web, the snake in its coils, the panther in its ambuscade; this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it hunts its living food; and it belonged to Buck as he clung to the flank of the herd . . .” Stolen from his home in Santa Clara Valley, California, Buck—a powerful St. Bernard-Scotch Shepherd who is the pampered pet of Judge Miller—is kidnapped, sold, and shipped to Canada where he is trained as a sled dog. Ill-treated and subjected to extreme conditions under various cruel masters, Buck struggles and turns into a wild beast. Will Buck survive the harsh conditions and answer the call of the wild? Set against the backdrop of the Klondike Gold Rush, Jack London’s The Call of the Wild is a classic work of animal fiction. An example of American pastoralism, the book was an immediate success after its first publication. One of his most well-received works, it has never gone out of print. The Call of the Wild is one of Jack London's most popular novels. The story follows a dog named Buck, a 140lb Saint Bernard and Scotch Shepard mix. Buck is abducted from a comfortable life as a pet and tossed into the chaos of the Klondike Gold Rush and the brutal realities of frontier life. Buck changes hands a number of times before landing in the kindly hands of John Thornton. Thornton takes ownership of Buck from a trio of ignorant stampeders, intent upon making a dangerous river crossing. Buck refuses to cross, despite a vicious beating. Thornton recognizes the dogs intelligence and strength. He steps in to claim the dog and nurses Buck back to health. But Buck is forever changed by the treatment he has received at the hands of other men. Jack London spent a year living in the Yukon and drew heavily upon his experiences there while writing the book. He later said, "It was in the Klondike that I found myself." This enhanced edition of London's classic novel includes illustrations from the first edition as well as audio links to free unabridged audio recordings of Call of the Wild.
