The Call of the Wild

Jack London is a legend among authors for his unique style & subject matter.  The Call of the Wild, centers around the life of a dog Buck.  Now since this book is rather short it can be read in one day & is very condensed to give just the most important of details.  Jack London excels at this simplifying the story to give the reader just the facts.  Another thing he excels at is placing man against nature or in this case dog against nature.  In some ways this is a tragic tale while in others it can be rather freeing that choice is left up to the reader.
