The Call of the Wild and Selected Stories - Paperback

by Jack London (Author), Alex Kershaw (Introduction by), Tobey Hiller (Afterword by)

The Call of the Wild is Now a Major Motion Picture Starring Harrison Ford

Out of the white wilderness, out of the Far North, Jack London, one of America's most popular authors, drew the inspiration for his robust tales of perilous adventure and animal cunning. Swiftly paced and vividly written, the novel and five short stories included here capture the main theme of London's work: the law of the club and the fang--man's instinctive reversion to primitive behavior when pitted against the brute force of nature.

Includes The Call of the Wild, Diable: A Dog, An Odyssey of the North, To the Man on the Trail, To Build a Fire, and Love of Life
