Buck, un perro vigoroso y domesticado que vive confortablemente en una soleada mansion de California, es secuestrado para ser vendido como perro de trineo en los frios paramos de Alaska durante la denominada fiebre del oro.
Buck is a good boy.
Moving, powerful, and beautifully written. I leaked from my eyes more than once.
Awesome book
Great plot. Always kept moving, and kept me excited the entire time. I absolutely loved buck and his personality. His transformation from house dog to mad-lad was inspiring.
This book was beautifully written randx ended on a happy note.
One of the best books I've read recently. I really love Jack London's style, though I think I liked White Fang quite a bit more.
Fantastic author.
I can't deny that the writing is of high quality. But high quality garbage is still garbage. All of the characters are horrible people, completely disconnected from reality. As I went on in this book, no morality emerged, and I started to realize that Fitzgerald wrote his characters this way, because that's how he is. This collection is the worst collection of books I have ever read. Usually I like the classics. This is not one of those times.
The author seems to know an awful lot about dog fights, assuming this was not plagiarized.
This ended up being much better than I thought it would be based on the first page. It's not a perfect book, being a bit choppy in places, but it is engaging and visceral. I'm not big on dog stories, but I found myself identifying with Buck in many ways both endearing and disturbing. Overall, a nice little (short!) book.
I've never read a Jack London before, and didn't quite know what to expect: but this is a fascinating book, written by a dog (clever dog). Tales of adventure and derring do, but recounted with a fascinating view into the canine mind. Rather enjoyable.
