A beautifully written and inspiring story of nature’s conquest over man and beast. In true adventure book style, it takes a misfortune to thrust the protagonist on a very different and very difficult path through which they uncover aspects of their nature that might never have been awakened, and learn what it means to truly live.
The protagonist in this instance is a dog, which throws up many interesting questions of animal rights - and wrongs. Whilst Buck may be considered anthropomorphised to a children’s book degree, I instinctively feel that London’s exploration of canine psychology is closer to the truth than most would believe. Yet aside from the question of how humans should treat highly intelligent animals, is the even more interesting question of the moral framework against which we should judge animals, from domesticated to wild. Is Buck’s transition from pet to ferocious beast morally good, bad or neutral? Does the harsh context that precipitates the transformation alter the moral landscape? And could the same questions be posed of mankind?

Well written, short, not my taste. I didn't like this book but I respected it for what it was. That's all I really have to say about it.
