Jack London was born John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco, California. He began writing at 17 years old, when he submitted a story about a recent, nearly disastrous sea voyage he'd been on, winning the contest and earning his first $25 as a writer. Later, during the gold rush, he traveled to the Yukon, where he found the inspiration for his most famous novels and short stories.

First published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is regarded as Jack London's masterpiece. Based on London's experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness and his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence, The Call of the Wild is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the fight for survival in the frozen Alaskan Klondike.
Published in 1903, this title is London's most-read book, and it is generally considered one of his best works. The protagonist is a dog. Several films based on this novel have been produced.
The story takes place in Alaska, where Kit "Smoke" Bellew (Tearle) has pitched camp in hopes of forgetting his troublesome past. He succeeds in this endeavor when he helps leathery prospector Shorty (Mark Hamilton) strike gold in them thar hills. Bellew also finds lasting happiness in the arms of the prospector's pretty daughter Joy (Barbara Bedford). Hal Erickson, Rovi
