Jack London
1917
A novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jeri, a smooth-coated Irish terrier puppy, who is brought along on an adventure across the South Seas by its owner, Mister Haggin. This tale explores themes of loyalty, the bond between humans and dogs, and the harsh realities of life in the South Pacific. The opening of the novel introduces Jeri as a young puppy deeply attached to its owner, Mister Haggin, who suddenly takes it aboard a whaling boat, setting off into the unknown. Jeri is portrayed as having a mix of innocence and instinctive understanding as it grapples with the instinctual fear of the unknown and hostility towards the black sailors on the ship. The narrative hints at Jeri's heritage and upbringing, emphasizing its noble lineage and the conditioning that shapes its perceptions of the world. As the story progresses, Jeri witnesses the complexities of human interactions and struggles with feelings of abandonment and the uncertainties of its new environment, paving the way for its adventures ahead.
