Description

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.
