Experience first-hand the dramatic ebb and flow of emotion as classic literature is transformed into the world of your imagination like never before. After being separated from his partner in the lonely tundra of Canada, one man struggles to survive an unforgettable journey through time, hunger, and insanity.

As with The Call of the Wild, White Fang explores a world in which animals and men depend on each other for survival. The story of a dog who is part wolf has lasted because Jack London gives each of his animals a personality. London's narratives are more than epics of hardship and survival; the are morality plays in which virtuous good triumphs over corrupt evil.

London was a man of adventure, a man of action, with a dynamic and challenging credo as this. And only he, with his great physical strength, his intense intellect, and his turbulent spirit, could have successfully lived up to it. "The House of Maphui" reflects all this.

Joe Fleming, a youth of twenty, earning his livelihood as a sailmaker and supporting his mother and sisters by his trade, augments his income by prize-fighting before so-called sporting clubs. On the eve of his marriage to Genevieve, an employe' in the Silversteins' candy shop, Joe is to fight his last bout before a club, having promised Genevieve to give up "the game," which, while it seems wrong to her, is to him a clean and manly as well as lucrative occupation.

White Fang, written by Jack London, tells the story of a half-wolf, half-dog nearly destroyed by the vicious cruelty of men. Near death, White Fang is rescued by Weeden Scott, who takes him home to California. White Fang learns to love his new master, and repays his kindness by saving Scott's father from a criminal who tries to kill him.

This is the sensitive entry into the mind of an animal of mixed parentage. Part dog, part wolf, White Fang's experiences in the wild and with the "man-animals" and his "love master" are sometimes frightening, yet often moving.

"Martin Eden", pubblicato in un primo tempo a puntate, dal 1908 al 1909, fu poi pubblicato come libro nel 1909. Il protagonista, un giovane marinaio, si lancia nel mondo della cultura quasi come in una guerra, spinto da un amore idealizzato. Lo studio indefesso, la spinta alla creazione letteraria, le numerose sconfitte contro il muro del sistema editoriale e i temi filosofici e sociali dell'epoca sono i punti trainanti dell'opera. Cornice musicale: "Martin Eden" di Bill Hughes.

Experience first-hand the dramatic ebb and flow of emotion as classic literature is transformed into the world of your imagination like never before. In Lost Face, the listener sits right beside a tribal prisoner as he plots to avoid the painful beheading that awaits him next.

Kidnapped from his safe California home. Thrown into a life-death struggle in the frozen Arctic wilderness. Half St. Bernard, half Shepard, Buck learns many hard lessons as a sled dog: the lesson of the lash, of the cold, of near-starvation and cruelty. And the greatest lesson he learns from his last owner, John Thorton: the power of love and loyalty. Yet always, even at the side of the human he loves, Buck feels the pull in his bones, an urge to answer his wolf ancestors as they howl to him. Can Buck resist the lure of the wolves?

Jack London is among the greatest adventure writers in American Literature, and The Call of the Wild is his masterpiece, a work that takes us where few tales have dared: into the mind of an animal. Buck is taken from the warmth of the Santa Clara valley to work as a sled-dog in the frozen Yukon during the Gold Rush. There he is forced to lose his domesticated ways and rediscover his natural instincts.

A man with no name follows a wandering path into the frozen Klondike. And here, deep in the heart of God's country, he is forced to pit his will, mind, and spirit against the forces of Mother Nature herself.

Jack London’s Call of the Wild is a beautiful tale of Buck, a house dog torn from the comforts of hearth and home in sunny California and thrust into the unforgiving wild. Through Buck, London takes us on a journey where the shackles of civilization are left behind, leading us to a simultaneously unknown and familiar past. Forgotten senses are awakened and survival is key. The story awakens in us something primal - the desire to be truly free.
