Review: Call of the Wild an American Classic - I really enjoyed this audiobook. The narrator's delivery was easy to listen to, and he seemed to get into the story quite nicely. Now for the review: Jack London takes his Alaskan gold mining experience to create an awesome tale. Buck belonged to a judge in California, in the days of the Klondike gold rush in Alaska. Buck was a large dog, half St. Bernard and half German Shepherd. he was not one of the judge's "kennel dogs," nor was he one of the "house dogs." He walked with his master when he was outside, and hunted with the judge's sons. Buck was the king of his outside domain, but even though the judge treated him well, he did not know love. One day the judge's Chinese cook ran up a gambling debt, and when no one was looking, he took Buck to town on a rope leash and sold him to a Klondike sled dog broker. It was then Buck learned the law of the club and fang. To get Buck into submission, the broker beat him mercilessly with a club. Buck was later sold and took to Alaska to start the menial and hard life of a sled dog. London's writings are powerful and insightful. Buck goes from pet to work dog, from a life of relative ease to one of the harsh reaities of survival in one of the harshest environments of the world. Buck toughens up and survives, and rises to the top of the sled dog pack. Through a series of jobs where the dogs are nearly used up and destroyed, Buck is nearly killed by a family of idiots who buy them. He is saved by a man who shows him true love. Once his new master is lilled by Indians, Buck is free to join a wolf pack and becomes its leader. From beginning to end, this shows of survival of the fittest and the call of the wild on all dogs. For and animal lover like myself, there were many times where I was cringing at the treatment of the animals. Buck triumphs over harsh treatment, harsh weather, lack of food, and other dogs that would kill him. The call of the wild is a phrase that is part of American language even today. Great book.

Great book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a very inspiring story about how a family pet is kidnapped and he becomes a sled dog in Alaska. *by M***E on February 6, 2026* It is a quality hardcover book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ After watching PBS’s Great American Read *by B***S on July 14, 2018* I had always heard about The Call of the Wild and intended to read it much sooner. After watching PBS’s Great American Read, I was reminded of all the classics I have yet to read (and those I need to revisit). This was a hard one for me to rate and to review. There are so many different themes represented in the book: man and the natural world, competition, pride, suffering, respect, loyalty, friendship, perseverance, knowledge, and more! The story is told from the point of view of a good and kind dog named Buck. Buck’s life takes some drastic and (devastating) turns. He experiences pain (both physical and emotional) from both humans and other animals. But he doesn’t give up. He fights. Becomes stronger. And in doing so, becomes more in tune with the “wild animal” inside of him. And this is where Buck’s story culminates, with his full devotion and acceptance of the wild parts of his being, and subsequent return to nature. What exactly did London what the reader to glean from his writing? No one will ever really know except London himself, but in a lot of ways, I wondered if this wasn’t a clever way of telling the story of how all beings (even humans) can, if they are not careful, lose their grip on who they really are. How important it is to remain true to who we are deep inside. Our natural self. Not that we should venture off into the woods and live off the land, but rather we shouldn’t let the world around us shape us into a person we don’t feel comfortable (or happy) being. The prose is fairly effortless to read compared to some classics, so this would be well suited even for fairly young readers. BEWARE: If you are at all triggered by animal cruelty and violence, you may want to skip this over. Often the best and most lasting art leaves those who enjoy it with more questions than answers. This is surely one of those. A great pick for a book club discussion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/41621788-the-call-of-the-wild-great-illustrated-classics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/41621788-the-call-of-the-wild-great-illustrated-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
