Jack London
Rediscover one of literature’s most beloved classics, richly reissued in a pivotal new audio recording. Emmy and Tony Award-nominated actor Pablo Schreiber (The Wire, Orange Is the New Black) delivers a stirring performance of Jack London’s fierce yet tender tale of loyalty between man and beast, told from the point of view of a dog.
The Call of the Wild remains one of London’s best-loved novels, often regarded as the crowning masterpiece of a writer whose enduring popularity and prolific output hold a unique place in American literature.
On its face, the novel is the story of Buck, a dog stolen from his comfortable home on a California ranch and shipped to the frozen Yukon to be a trained as a sled dog. But this exhilarating tale of a canine hero’s fight for survival is in fact a vivid depiction of the great gold rush to the Klondike in 1897. Brutal and fierce on one hand, this iconic adventure story is also a heart-warming tale of the tenderness and loyalty between humans and animals, brilliantly told from the latter’s perspective.
Narrator Schreiber, whose previous performance of Brett Easton Ellis’ American Psycho has endeared him to listeners, brings a classic American tale to the ears - and hearts - of a new generation.

This work embodies cruelty towards working animals without having a "Black Beauty" agenda.
I gave this only 4 stars because there are serious inaccuracies in the way the relationship between dogs and wolves is portrayed. A dog will not become the leader of a wolf pack if raised in wild hardship, and no canine in their right mind would attack a moose bull alone (and enjoy it). Furthermore, the fact that Buck's final step to becoming master of the wilderness is to slaughter a bunch of Indians was truly troubling. I understand the revenge motivation behind the killing, but the lack of individuality to any of the Indians was disturbing. There was too much humanity to Buck's brutality.
This was a great read, excellently performed. I recognize why it has been studied and loved for so many years. I just still want to hold this to high standards and discuss its flaws in order to better appreciate its contribution to American literature.
