DECISION
This project is an engaging dive into Canada's history during the Gold Rush era. The book, crafted with love and meticulous attention to detail, features several tales by American writer Jack London.
An interesting fact about the author: in 1903, after the publication of his story "The Call of the Wild," Jack London woke up famous - the first edition of the book sold out in one day.
"The Call of the Wild" tells the remarkable story of a dog named Buck. Buck was kidnapped, taken to Alaska, and sold to gold prospectors. The story touches on themes such as survival of the fittest, civilization and nature, fate, freedom, and to some extent, violence, especially against animals.
When creating the illustrations, I didn't just gather historical facts, search for Native American and gold miner costumes and tools, but also immersed myself in the era, filling the book with atmosphere and authenticity.
