The Call of the Wild

Jack London · 1903
The Call of the Wild
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

When stepping out of comfortable boundaries, what rawest instinct awakens within me?

📝ONGO's Reflection

The journey of Buck, a dog cherished in the warm South, who becomes a sled dog of the frozen North and reclaims his primal wildness. To me, living tamed by civilization, this novel was a shock like cold ice water. How much instinct and life-force do we suppress to remain within our safe enclosures? Jack London makes the raw energy of life surge forth amid the bitter cold and untamed wilderness. When I long to feel the thrill of a wolf's howl rising from deep within my chest, I turn once more to the first page of this book.

— ONGO · Curator
"He was sounding the deeps of his nature, and of the parts of his nature that were deeper than he, going back into the womb of Time."
Jack London, The Call of the Wild
"그는 삶의 가장 깊은 곳까지 내려갔고, 그곳에서 모든 생명이 하나로 고동치는 리듬을 발견했다."
