Chamado Selvagem
Publicado em 1903 e considerado a obra-prima do escritor norte-americano Jack London, Chamado selvagem retrata a jornada de Buck, um cão domesticado que entra em contato com seu lado primitivo depois de passar por uma série de maus-tratos durante a corrida do ouro no Alasca e no Canadá. Convidando o leitor a refletir sobre valores como civilidade, lealdade e liberdade, o livro é mais um clássico da literatura universal que volta às prateleiras em adaptação de Clarice Lispector para os jovens brasileiros, como Viagens de Gulliver, A ilha misteriosa e O talismã.

About the author
Clarice Lispector
248 books8,383 followersClarice Lispector was a Brazilian writer. Acclaimed internationally for her innovative novels and short stories, she was also a journalist. Born to a Jewish family in Podolia in Western Ukraine, she was brought to Brazil as an infant, amidst the disasters engulfing her native land following the First World War.
She grew up in northeastern Brazil, where her mother died when she was nine. The family moved to Rio de Janeiro when she was in her teens. While in law school in Rio she began publishing her first journalistic work and short stories, catapulting to fame at age 23 with the publication of her first novel, 'Near to the Wild Heart' (Perto do Coração Selvagem), written as an interior monologue in a style and language that was considered revolutionary in Brazil.
She left Brazil in 1944, following her marriage to a Brazilian diplomat, and spent the next decade and a half in Europe and the United States. Upon return to Rio de Janeiro in 1959, she began producing her most famous works, including the stories of Family Ties (Laços de Família), the great mystic novel The Passion According to G.H. (A Paixão Segundo G.H.), and the novel many consider to be her masterpiece, Água Viva. Injured in an accident in 1966, she spent the last decade of her life in frequent pain, steadily writing and publishing novels and stories until her premature death in 1977.
She has been the subject of numerous books and references to her, and her works are common in Brazilian literature and music. Several of her works have been turned into films, one being 'Hour of the Star' and she was the subject of a recent biography, Why This World, by Benjamin Moser.

Narrativas de um cão. Peripécias pelo mundo gelado do ártico, histórias de exploração do trabalho e crueldade, redescoberta dos instintos selvagens em meios hostis e memórias atávicas para a sobrevivência. Apesar da dureza e frieza do mundo, tambem se encontra a possibilidade de companheirismo, amizade e compreensão pra melhor percorrer as longas distâncias

Li este livro quando estava no colégio e foi um uso muito agradável do meu tempo. London é um escritor primoroso, com grande habilidade para descrever cenas sem ser cansativo. A estória acompanha um cão em um ambiente inóspito. Seus dissabores se sucedem até um desenlace bem interessante.

Como escrevia bem esse Jack London. Me apeguei muito a história e suas descrições. Algo interessante que é usado pelo caminho, é dizer que fato X irá acontecer logo a frente. O que parece uma quebra de espectativa acaba sendo riquíssima enquanto o autor destrincha os fatos.
