Synopsis "La Llamada de la Selva (in Spanish)"

Buck es un perro doméstico acostumbrado a la vida plácida de una familia acomodada de California, pero su existencia da un vuelco cuando es robado y vendido a unos traficantes para tirar de un trineo. Sometido a carreras extenuantes durante jornadas interminables por los páramos helados de Alaska y Canadá, pronto descubre el significado de “la ley del garrote y el colmillo”. Buck afrontará con astucia y valentía la crueldad de sus nuevos dueños y la ferocidad de sus compañeros de trineo. Y cuando finalmente encuentre la amistad y el amor deberá elegir entre permanecer fielmente junto a su amo y seguir la llamada de lo salvaje que lo devuelva a los orígenes de su especie. En esta pequeña joya de la literatura universal Jack London nos conduce magistralmente por los entresijos de la naturaleza animal y la humana.

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.
