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.
The domesticated life of a powerful St. Bernard-Shepherd mix named Buck is quickly turned on end when he is stolen away from his master and put to work as a sled dog in Alaska. His once life of luxury turns into a life of survival and adaptation as he learns the ways of the wilderness.
Set in the Klondike region of Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, The Call of the Wild showcases the transformation of a canine as he learns to adapt to what life has given him, fair or not.

All good
Not sugar coated fantasy. Raw and gritty. A must read. You can feel his pain and confusion. Can't go wrong with this story.
This book shows me that you are capable of anything with hope. Also it made me understand that with rest not food you can come back to a perfect state.
A timeless and great read. I could not put the book down. I’m sure I will re-read this many times.
This book was a very quick read, but it took me immediately back to reading when I was in grade school, sitting at a desk, reading a hardcopy book and thinking that it was great to be able to read and not have to do anything else.
