Synopsis "A chamada da selva (in Galician)"

No outono de 1894 o descubrimento de ouro en Klondike levou ata as rexións xeadas de Alaska a homes de todas as partes do mundo. A chamada da selva é a historia destes homes, desta epopea vivida no espello da aventura dun can, Buck, que tras catro anos de cómodo vagar na granxa do xuíz Miller, preto de San Francisco, ten que comezar unha vida rexida pola lei do vergallo e da loita pola existencia para, ao cabo, sentir a chamada do atávico, o achegamento ao lobo, o seu irmán salvaxe, que ha cantar co seu ouveo a canción do mundo primitivo.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
