Buck is a powerful, pampered dog living an easy life on a sun-warmed California estate, until he's stolen away and sold north into the frozen wilds of the Yukon, where the Gold Rush has made strong sled dogs worth their weight in gold. Thrust into a brutal new world ruled by the club and the fang, Buck must shed his soft comforts fast and learn the hard laws of survival. With every blow and every mile, something ancient and primal begins to stir awake inside him. London's gripping 1903 novel follows a civilized dog as the wilderness starts to call him home.
