Based on London's experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness and his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence, <em>The Call of the Wild</em> is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the fight for survival in the frozen Alaskan Klondike.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Jack London's stories are classic American favorites.  Recorded unabridged in Bookcassette Audio are &quot;Call of the Wild&quot; and three special Klondike stories: &quot;To Build a Fire&quot;, &quot;Love of Life&quot; and &quot;To the Man on the Trail&quot;.  In &quot;Call of the Wild&quot;, a domestic dog is kidnapped from his comfortable life on a California estate and thrown into the wild north woods.  Buck, half St. Bernard and half Scottish shepherd, is a strong dog but not accustomed to the harsh life of the north and he must fight for survival.  He learns how to work hard; how to dig a hole in a snowbank to stay warm; how to eat anything no matter how loathsome; how to scent the weather; how to break ice to find water; and most importantly, how to survive cruelty.<br/><br/>At one of the worst moments in his life, Buck receives unexpected human kindness from a new master.  With the kind of devotion that only a dog can give, he shows loyalty to his master in ways that are both touching and profound.]]>
