«The Call of the Wild» is one of Jack London's early works. The main character of the novel is a dog, which is why it is often considered a children's book. However, the maturity and depth of ideas in this work make it relevant for adult readers as well. It touches on such themes as survival of the fittest, the conflict between civilization and nature, and the fate and freedom of will.

The action of the novel takes place in the Yukon (Canada) during the gold rush. At that time, there was a high demand for large and strong dogs. Buck, a mix of a Scottish shepherd and a Saint Bernard, was brought from a sheep ranch in California to the north. Buck finds himself in the harsh reality of life as a sled dog. The novel tells the story of the difficulties Buck faces as he tries to survive in these new conditions.

The book presents the complete unabridged text of the novel with annotations and a glossary.
