Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is an American literary treasure. Set in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon Territory during the 1890s Klondike gold rush, this fictional tale opens when Buck, a dog that is part St. Bernard and part Scotch shepherd, is kidnapped from his comfortable home in Northern California. He soon finds himself heading north where large, strong sled dogs are in high demand. Buck learns to adapt to the frozen, Arctic land.

From Jack London comes another tale of the wild. In this story the wild half-wolf White Fang survives a harsh living in America's frozen northland. First in the wild, then as a dog of the Indian peoples, then as a fighting dog, before at last finding a good home in the south.

Dos hombres Mason y Malemute Kid, en compañía de la esposa india de Mason, atraviesan en trineo las tierras de Klondike a temperaturas de más de cincuenta grados bajo cero y con tanta escasez de comida que los perros están desfalleciendo y en algunos casos volviéndose peligrosos para los propios viajeros.

Der Hund Buck ist halb Schäferhund, halb Bernhardiner. Er lebt herrschaftlich auf einer Farm in Kalifornien - bis er eines Tages entführt wird. Sein Weg führt ihn in den hohen Norden, wo er zum ersten Mal den Ruf seiner Herkunft spürt - und dass da noch etwas anderes ist, als ein Hund zu sein... Der Ruf der Wildnis ist die packende Geschichte eines Hundes, der im hohen Norden das Leben des Wolfs kennenlernt.

Buck hört ihn selten in sich. Ganz leise. Ganz versteckt. Es ist eher ein Wispern, das ab und zu in ihm aufsteigt, wenn er mit seinem Herrn durch die kalifornischen Wälder streift. Und dann, wenn er wieder nach Hause zurückkommt, verhallt der Ruf in ihm und alles ist wieder in bester Ordnung. Das alles ändert sich, als Buck entführt und nach Alaska verschleppt wird. Plötzlich auf sich allein gestellt, allen Freunden und Bekannten beraubt, muss er dem Ruf folgen. Tut er es nicht, droht ihm der Untergang. So wird das Wispern ein Flüstern und das Flüstern ein Ruf: Der Ruf der Wildnis!

Buck is living a happy life in California until he is sold to pay a gambling debt.
