"Martin Eden", pubblicato in un primo tempo a puntate, dal 1908 al 1909, fu poi pubblicato come libro nel 1909. Il protagonista, un giovane marinaio, si lancia nel mondo della cultura quasi come in una guerra, spinto da un amore idealizzato. Lo studio indefesso, la spinta alla creazione letteraria, le numerose sconfitte contro il muro del sistema editoriale e i temi filosofici e sociali dell'epoca sono i punti trainanti dell'opera. Cornice musicale: "Martin Eden" di Bill Hughes.

Kidnapped from his safe California home. Thrown into a life-death struggle in the frozen Arctic wilderness. Half St. Bernard, half Shepard, Buck learns many hard lessons as a sled dog: the lesson of the lash, of the cold, of near-starvation and cruelty. And the greatest lesson he learns from his last owner, John Thorton: the power of love and loyalty. Yet always, even at the side of the human he loves, Buck feels the pull in his bones, an urge to answer his wolf ancestors as they howl to him. Can Buck resist the lure of the wolves?

Jack London is among the greatest adventure writers in American Literature, and The Call of the Wild is his masterpiece, a work that takes us where few tales have dared: into the mind of an animal. Buck is taken from the warmth of the Santa Clara valley to work as a sled-dog in the frozen Yukon during the Gold Rush. There he is forced to lose his domesticated ways and rediscover his natural instincts.

Jack London’s Call of the Wild is a beautiful tale of Buck, a house dog torn from the comforts of hearth and home in sunny California and thrust into the unforgiving wild. Through Buck, London takes us on a journey where the shackles of civilization are left behind, leading us to a simultaneously unknown and familiar past. Forgotten senses are awakened and survival is key. The story awakens in us something primal - the desire to be truly free.
