Almost 122 centimeters - that was the height of the stack of written rejections from different publishers, collected by the American writer Jack London for the first five years of creative activity. But then the story of a pet dog Beck, who by chance got from the southern paradise to the harsh north, was published.The book sometimes seems to be told on behalf of the dog - so accurately and in detail the writer conveys all the nuances of what is happening. It is no coincidence that readers until the very last page remain on the side of the protagonist. In his native estate Beck led "the life of a satiated aristocrat". It was replaced by a life of hardship, pain and hardship of the leader of a dog sled. And we will have to independently answer one of the most pressing questions: what is more destructive for a strong nature? Perhaps this question should be asked from time to time each of us.The story "The Call of the Ancestors" brought its author world fame. The book continues the mini-series of Jack London editions with illustrations by Vladimir Kanivets. Realistic, detailed works of the artist perfectly convey the contrast between the icy silence of the North and the blazing emotions of the heroes. Readers highly appreciated the previous books of the mini-series ("The Tale of Kish. Stories" and "White Fang").
