Acerca de esta escucha

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Pablo Schreiber's pacing, tone, and timbre are spot-on as he delivers this often brutal story.... Schreiber narrates with exquisite restraint.... The narration is ably done and the adventure well served." (AudioFile)

Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time


Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.

It was an amazing read. The book is easy to read along with, and the narrator added a creative touch to it.

thoroughly enjoyed it

This is a classic western romantic novel written from the perspective of Buck, a Saint Bernard/German Shepherd mix purchased in California to be broken in as a sled dog during the gold rush era in the Northwest. The prose is beautiful, though the narrator knows too much about manmade items and constructs than is believable for a dog. The descriptions are thus most impactful when set away from human civilization.

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.

This is one of the greatest works of all time. I read the story 50 years ago, but really appreciated Pablo Schreiber’s interpretation. It allowed me to simply immerse myself in the story.

White Fang was an A novel. Call of The Wild has no peers, of any era.

Masterpiece
