The Call of the Wild
About this ebook
London’s tale is a stark reminder of how important it is to trust one’s senses. Though examined through the eyes of a dog, The Call of The Wild is a tale far greater than that of a life lived on four paws. London’s intention is clear: When faced with dire and inhumane conditions, there is nothing left to do but turn to the wild in a fight to stay alive.
This book is now the subject of the major motion picture (release date, February 2020) starring Harrison Ford and Omar Sy. With a new note about the author, and a cleanly typeset manuscript, this edition of London’s poignant tale resonates just as profoundly as when it was originally published in 1903.
About the author

His personal experiences, including exploits as a sailor, a vagrant, and as a war reporter deeply informed his writing. Much of his work is written in a Naturalistic style and explores themes of man’s instincts and the inescapable forces of nature. London was one of the first American authors to become financially successful through his writing, penning more than 50 books in his lifetime.
