Synopsis "The Illustrated Call of the Wild: Original First Edition"

The most well-known book by Jack London is The Call of the Wild. Huge Saint Bernard Buck is followed as he is taken from his cushy existence in California and sent to the Klondike Gold Rush in this film. His kidnappers offer him for sale so that miners in the North might use him as a sledge dog. As the harsh realities of life on the route gradually destroy his civilised upbringing, he slowly discovers his ancient roots. London created a genuine adventure by drawing on his experiences in the Yukon.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
