| Summary |
"Il richiamo della foresta : romanzo" by Jack London is a classic novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the journey of a domesticated dog named Buck as he is thrust into the brutal realities of the wild during the Klondike Gold Rush, leading to his ultimate transformation from pet to primal creature. Through Buck’s experiences, the narrative delves into themes of survival, instinct, and the return to a more ancient state of being. The opening of the novel introduces Buck, a powerful and pampered dog living in the comfortable household of Judge Miller in Santa Clara Valley. As the gold rush ignites a demand for sled dogs, Buck's life takes a drastic turn when he is kidnapped and sold into servitude in the harsh wilderness of Alaska. Struggling against the betrayal and violence of his human captors, Buck learns the cruel law of the wild, where strength and instincts dictate survival. The stage is set for Buck's evolution as he encounters the brutal reality of his new environment, beginning his transformation from a beloved pet to a creature of the wild.
