Many of London's books, including The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf, are still widely read by students worldwide. The Call of the Wild is an adventure novel that tells the story of Buck, a dog who gets stolen from his home and sold as a sled dog in Alaska. Buck is forced to adapt to the wild in order to survive. White Fang is a novel that tells the story of a wild wolfdog's journey to domestication. The action is set in the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush and examines how animals view their world as well as how they view humans.
