Buck, el perro del juez Miller, lleva una apacible vida en California, cuando es raptado y obligado a tirar de
un trineo por las heladas orillas del río Yukón, donde miles de hombres llamados por la fiebre del oro buscan
fortuna. Terribles experiencias y la crueldad de sus nuevos amos le empujan a reencontrarse con sus ancestros
salvajes como única forma de adaptarse al medio y sobrevivir. El proceso de transformación que sufre Buck
de perro doméstico a salvaje es impactante. “La llamada de la selva” es un libro de aventuras apasionante,
con muchos momentos sorprendentes y dramáticos, con un final muy emocionante. Publicado en 1903, “La
llamada de la selva” es el libro más leído de Jack London, y es generalmente considerado el mejor, la obra
maestra de su llamado período temprano. Muy recomendable para los aficionados a la narrativa de aventuras,
aunque el estilo del autor gusta a todos los públicos.

Jack London (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. Before making a living at his writing, he spent time as an oyster pirate, a sailor, a cannery worker, a gold miner, and a journalist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction writing. He is best known for his novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set during the Klondike gold rush, as well as the short stories “To Build a Fire,” “An Odyssey of the North,” and “Love of Life.” He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as “The Pearls of Parlay” and “The Heathen.” He was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, including The Iron Heel, The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.
