À propos de cet audio

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"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)

Behind the Scenes with Pablo Schreiber

"[The Call of the Wild is] a great slice of American history but deeper than that it's also a wonderful metaphor about listening and following our instincts."

I liked it all. There was nothing. I did not like I hope to read more titles like it.

I love remembering what I first read long ago

I listened to this on a drive to the cottage with my children (8 & 10 years old). They loved the story of Buck and his transformation. We've had many discussions about this story since. Pablo's performance was great. His voice and cadence were well suited to Buck's tale.

Wonderful

sadly author feels it necessary to sneak in some casual racism at the end of his childrens novel

beautiful story until the first nations get vilified at the end

Gritty, primitive and tastefully violent, this book grabbed me from early on. It's written from a perspective you wouldn't expect, but done so perfectly, I was enthralled.
Exceptionally narrated!

Utterly gripping, well-balanced

Like many folks I’ve been aware of Jack London and his works for a very long time, having even watched the old White Fang cartoon on tv as a kid, but I’d never read any of his work directly.

Well, when I ran out of credits this month and found Call of the Wild on the “free” list I knew I had to give it a go and hoo boy was that a good decision. Call of the Wild isn’t a particularly long novel, but what it lacks in length it gains in depth of narrative quality. London can really weave a tale (or tail? Heh) that will have you both invested and eager for more. It’s not often I get a big emotional response from novels, but at several points Call had me riding the emotional roller coaster.

Do yourself a favour and spend some time with this absolutely fantastic adventure.

I read this story, first, when nine. Listening to Pablo Schreiber’s excellent recitation had me harkening to my days of reading well into the night: curled into a ball to ward-off the chill, under the covers, flashlight in hand.
This story is brilliantly written, in its often brutality, and wonderfully read. Enjoy!

Initially brutal but ultimately triumphant

This is a story I'll remember for a long time. There's a Buck within all of us. I loved every moment of it.

Just Incredible

Any book by Jack London is worth a revisit and in a modern Audible Medium, it comes alive again.

The performance is wonderful and as a Candian who has served in that very area, it is a treat to go back in my mind's eye and see it again.

The bond between man and animal is sacred in the North and London has captured the mystic of that phenomenon.

Well done! Great Listen!!

I purchased this title because Pablo Schreiber narrated it and I recognized the authors name. I felt for the characters, so I can say I enjoyed it beginning to end.
