The Call of the Wild

De: Jack London

Narrado por: Pablo Schreiber

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.

"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)

The Call of the Wild

Well written, you'll have no problem with this story being told from the dogs point of view. The narrator was excellent...in fact I really don't think anyone else could have done better.

Very sad

I thought the story was beautiful, but some part were almost hard to listen to because of the horror of said events. I felt so awful for the poor doggo. Great story!

This is a better book now than when I was a kid!

Jack London uses words like a master. As a kid this was a dog story. As an adult the Call Of The Wild is great liturature!

Amazing.

This book is truly an amazing story. So descriptively written by Mr. London and smoothly narrated by Pablo Schreiber, it bought me to tears more than once and in the end, brought goosebumps to my skin. Powerful.

After all these years...

This was not required reading in my New York City High School, so, after seeing the movie, I decided to read the book. As a first experience with audio books since being a commuter it did not disappoint. Switching between reading and audio was a great way to give tired eyes a break. The narrator was excellent.
