Ruf der Wildnis

Un clasico de 150 paginas, se lee rapido y merece la pena.

El protagonista principal es un perro pero a diferencia con una pelicula, en un libro es facil explicar como piensa sin caer en lugares (imagenes?) comunes.
Las descripciones son creibles y tambien las situaciones. Es interesante como la historia de un perro dice tanto de la relacion del hombre con la naturaleza. Cuando la tecnologia no nos salva no somos nada como cierto virus que esta paseandose por la humanidad segun escribo esto esta demostrando.

Tambien lei anteriormente Colmillo blanco, que supongo que es la secuela, en el que ocurre una transformacion parecida pero en direccion contraria, tambien interesante y recomendable.

The call of the wild is a story follows the life of Buck, a dog that is dognapped from his home and forced into sled dog training. He changes masters multiple times and ends up as a sled dog for the gold miners in Alaska. The story is basically the transformation from domesticated pet to wild pack animal and how those instincts and survival skills are ingrained calls to us back to it.
I'm sure there are levels of symbolism and meaning that I was supposed to absorb and learn when I read this book, but I didn't. I didn't enjoy or dislike the story. I didn't really feel much expect sadness for how callus people are to animals and each other.
