The Call of the Wild is a classic work of animal fiction. A true example of American pastoralism, it reaches back to the time when dog and man first came together. At that time they were rather similar, hairy creatures struggling for survival. The story onsets when a dog was plucked from an indolent early life as a household pet, to become part of a sledge team. The story is filled with love, compassion and adventure and captivates the readers till date.

John Griffith Chaney (1876-1916), more famously known with his pen name Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a huge fortune from writing.
