    Adventurous book
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023*

I really liked this book.  I thought it was very adventurous.  And,  I learned a lot about dogs and packs of wolves in it.

    Jack London - Part Prolific Novelist, Part Wolf
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2007*

After reading "The Call of the Wild" or more precisely, after being transferred to another place and time, or even more to the point after being totally submerged into the being of this animal, I'm left completely awe-struck by London's work.To see what Buck saw, to feel the forces and the instincts that he felt... that is the power of this book.  Here's a passage from the third chaper to illustrate what I mean:"At the mouth of the Tahkeena, one night after super, Dub (a member of the sled-dog team) turned up a snowshoe rabbit, blundered it, and missed.  A hundred yards away was a camp of the Northwest Police, with fifty dogs, huskies all, who joined the chase.  The rabbit sped down the river, turned off into a small creek, up the frozen bed of which it held steadily.  It ran lightly on the surface of the snow, while the dogs plowed through by main strength.  Buck led the pack, sixty strong, around bend after bend, but he could not gain.  He lay down low to the race, whining eagerly, his splendid body flashing forward, leap by leap, in the wan white moonlight.  And leap by leap, like some pale frost wraith, the snowshoe rabbit flashed on ahead.All the stirring of old instincts which at stated periods drives men out from the sounding cities to forest and plain to kill things by chemically propelled leaden pellets, the blood lust, the joy to kill--all this was Buck's, only it was infinitely more intimate.  He was ranging at the head of the pack, running the wild thing down, the living meat, to kill with his own teeth and wash his muzzle to the eyes in warm blood.There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise.  And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.  This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad on a stricken field and refusing quarter; it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.  He was sounding the deeps of his nature, and of the parts of his nature that were deeper than he, going back into the womb of Time.  He as mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars and over the face of dead matter that did not move."
