PARALLELS BETWEEN HUMAN AND ANIMAL PSYCHOLOGY IN JACK LONDON AND CHINGIZ AITMATOV’S WORKS AND THEIR 21ST CENTURY LEGACY
Abstract
This article examines the psychological parallels between humans and animals in the works of Jack London and Chingiz Aitmatov. Both authors explore the emotional and survival challenges of both species, as seen in The Call of the Wild and Doomsday. The paper also looks at how 21st-century authors continue to build on these themes, addressing contemporary issues like environmental concerns and the evolving relationship between humans and animals in modern literature.
