(1903)Jack London’s Call of the Wild is the story of a dog’s journey from living a cocooned life in sunny California, to the unforgiving frozen dunes of the arctic. A man’s greed stole Buck’s comfortable life. He was sold by his master’s trusted servant to men heading south in search of that precious yellow metal--gold. Buck’s journey through the harsh landscapes as a sledge dog, passing from one master to another, teaches him to survive in the ways of the wild. In the process, his natural killer instincts, made dormant by his brush with civilisation, awaken. Buck becomes the best sledge dog ever that walked the frozen trails to the land of gold. But that’s not the end of his journey. In fact, it had just begun…will he answer the call of the wild?
