About this ebook

The Call of the Wild is Now a Major Motion Picture Starring Harrison Ford!

Out of the white wilderness, out of the Far North, Jack London, one of America’s most popular authors, drew the inspiration for his robust tales of perilous adventure and animal cunning. Swiftly paced and vividly written, the novel and five short stories included here capture the main theme of London’s work: the law of the club and the fang—man’s instinctive reversion to primitive behavior when pitted against the brute force of nature.

Includes The Call of the Wild, Diable: A Dog, An Odyssey of the North, To the Man on the Trail, To Build a Fire, and Love of Life

A story of men and animals shaped by nature and adapting to it's harsh realities. Not a story of modern day culture based on softness and weakness.
