The first book I read by Jack London was Martin Eden. It was a book that I was very impressed by, thanks to the influence of reading it when I was a little younger, and the love of reading it contained, and which I read with great pleasure and interest. However, unfortunately, I did not read any of his other novels for a long time. The second book I wanted to read was the novel White Fang, but since it was similar and complementary works, I decided to read The Call of the Wild, taking into account the comments.
Jack London is someone who had to start working life when he was a child and struggled with economic difficulties for a long time. During these times of crisis, he became interested in gold hunting and went on many adventures for this purpose. In his work, The Call of the Wild, he presents the impact and experiences of these adventures to the reader, although towards the end.
In the book, we read about the path of a dog named Buck, who lives in prosperity and comfort in the south, to the north in a game for the sake of money. By showing how people use dogs spitefully, thoughtlessly and badly for their own purposes, he actually shows the reader the cruel face of his self once again. While it shows the selfish side of human beings, it also presents love, compassion and loyalty to the reader in a step-by-step manner in the novel, while also showing people how easy it can be to be human and perhaps it can be a choice.
Buck's transformation from a docile, domesticated dog into the wild, and his gradual coming closer to his true self and instincts, is well conveyed. However, some sections were very static and confusing, so my reading speed slowed down. Rather than just a story of a dog returning to its original state, I think it tries to present some thoughts to the reader in the subtext, such as what kind of people our choices make us.
I followed the recommendations and read it before the White Fang novel. I enjoyed reading it, especially towards the end, and it surprised me with its ending story. I recommend it to those who like the author's writing and it is a novel that can be read as a preparation before the style of White Fang.
