"Erämaan kutsu" by Jack London is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Buck, a domesticated dog whose life drastically changes after being uprooted from his comfortable home in California to the harsh wilderness of the Yukon during the Gold Rush. As he faces the brutal realities of survival, Buck's instincts awaken, leading him on a transformative journey back to his primal roots. The opening of the novel introduces Buck as a strong and proud dog living a pampered life with Judge Miller's family. He enjoys freedom on the estate, where he is respected and loved. However, this peaceful existence is shattered when Manuel, a gardener with gambling debts, kidnaps him, leading to a harrowing train journey that reveals the dangers lurking in his future. As Buck struggles with his new circumstances, he encounters abuse and competition among other dogs, setting the stage for his evolution from a domesticated pet to a wild, self-reliant creature. The harshness of his new environment forces Buck to adapt quickly and learn about the violent reality of survival in the wilderness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
