The Call of the Wild by Jack London

 


Five Stars 💥💥💥💥💥
Written from the point of Buck the sled dog, The Call of the Wild is one of the best books about finding one's true self.

The journey of Buck is exciting and often disturbing. Yet Buck is a survivor who learns while that life among his human owners is rarely comfortable and sometimes abusive there is a place for him in this world.

If only we can hear our own clarion call and learn to follow it as Buck does.

What hold does the Prince have over his weakened father, and who or what is he protecting? As Jerrol flees for his life, he is rescued by a vision of the enigmatic Lady Leylandii, a goddess who, according to legend, once saved the land of Remargaren from malevolent w...
