"Quando io e voi, addormentati o assopiti, cadiamo attraverso lo spazio e torniamo in noi con una sensazione di batticuore, proprio nell'attimo immediatamente prima di fracassarci le ossa al suolo, non facciamo che ricordarci di quel che avvenne ai nostri antenati arboricoli e che si è impresso, per le successive modificazioni cerebrali, nell'eredità della specie."

The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog in the frozen Yukon told from his point of view. But this brilliantly told tale of a canine hero is in fact a graphic picture of the great gold rush to the Klondike in 1897. Brutal and fierce on one hand, it is also a story of tenderness and loyalty between man and beast and remains one of the best- selling books in American literary history.

Un homme blessé, épuisé, est abandonné par son compagnon dans le désert du Grand Nord canadien. Malgré le supplice que lui impose la faim et qui l'accompagne continuellement, il poursuit inexorablement son chemin poussé par la petite flamme de vie qui brille encore en lui. Un loup, également blessé et affamé, le suit en permanence. Tous deux à bout de forces se surveillent mutuellement tout en se traînant sur la glace : qui mangera l'autre ? Qui survivra ?

Buck est un chien de compagnie qui vit une paisible existence chez son maître. Tout bascule lorsqu'il est enlevé puis vendu à un maître de chiens de traîneau qui l'emmène dans le grand Nord. Il doit alors apprendre à se battre contre le froid et contre les autres, pour imposer sa place dans la meute. Peu à peu, ses instincts naturels refont surface et Buck devient ce qu'il a toujours été sans le savoir : un animal sauvage qui ne cherche pas la compagnie des hommes.

A man with no name follows a wandering path into the frozen Klondike. And here, deep in the heart of God's country, he is forced to pit his will, mind, and spirit against the forces of Mother Nature herself.

Questo breve romanzo, pubblicato nel 1903, e considerato uno dei più famosi di Jack London, è stato per molto tempo catalogo come letteratura per ragazzi. Ma l'ambientazione nello Yukon, durante la caccia all'oro, la vita brutale e di violenza scatenata dalla cupidigia che caratterizzò quel periodo può servire solo come monito ed esempio negativo.
