Buck, a sturdy crossbreed canine (half St. Bernard, half Shepard), is a dog born to luxury and raised in a sheltered Californian home. But then he is kidnapped and sold to be a sled dog in the harsh and frozen Yukon Territory. Passed from master to master, Buck embarks on an extraordinary journey, proving his unbreakable spirit… First published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is regarded as Jack London's masterpiece. Based on London's experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness and his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence, The Call of the Wild is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the fight for survival in the frozen Alaskan Klondike. No other popular writer of his time did any better writing than you will find in «The Call of the Wild». —H. L. Mencken. Few men have more convincingly examined the connection between the creative powers of the individual writer and the unconscious drive to breed and to survive, found in the natural world… London is in and committed to his creations to a degree very nearly unparalleled in the composition of fiction. —James Dickey

Аннотация
El conflicto entre el capitán Woodward y el tabernero Charles Roberts es el de la visión colonial versus una noción más humanista de la expansión europea por la Micronesia y la Melanesia. «Si el hombre blanco se esforzara un poco por entender cómo funciona la mente del hombre negro, se podrían evitar la mayoría de los problemas», asegura Roberts, de mente más abierta y liberal. London, el racista, modificaba algunas de sus concepciones. En el viaje que hace entre 1907 y 1909 a bordo del Snark por Hawaii, las Islas Marquesas, Tahití, Fidji, las Islas Salomón, las Nuevas Hébridas y Australia, su concepto de la superioridad anglosajona se modifica. Está en desacuerdo con la forma como el hombre blanco ha sometido a la fuerza a los nativos, esclavizándolos o despojándolos de sus tierras. Hay una especie de crisis de conciencia que lo lleva a escribir historias donde muestra su simpatía hacia ciertos personajes, como el hawaiano Koolau, y donde da cuenta de la mano dura de los anglosajones. «Colonizar el mundo. Alguien tiene que hacerlo», parece ser la única consigna, no importando los medios para lograrlo. El relato es ambivalente: por un lado, la destreza de Saxtorph para hacerle frente a una horda de salvajes —la historia que cuenta el capitán Woodward—, y, por el otro, la velada certidumbre de que el inevitable hombre blanco es igual o peor de salvaje que los nativos.
