Synopsis "The Call of the Wild"

Jack London was an American writer and social activist. Much of his works were set during the Klondike Gold Rush. London's most popular works are The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf. The Call of the Wild is a classic still read my many school-aged children today about the adventures of a dog named Buck.

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.
