Jack London's wilderness classic, Buck torn from a comfortable home and driven into the brutal life of the Yukon, retold in short sentences and controlled A2 English vocabulary, so you can follow every chapter without losing the thread. 26 chapters. Summaries at the start of each one. Around 17,000 words of real, story-driven English. For self-study adults and English learners ready to finish their first real book in English.
Buck leaves a comfortable home for the harsh Yukon wilderness.
