Jack London’s masterpiece describing the timeless bonds between man, dog, and wilderness
Buck, half St. Bernard and half Scotch shepherd, is a bold-spirited dog living the good life in the Santa Clara Valley. But when a treacherous act of betrayal results in his kidnapping, he is stripped from his comfortable life on the California estate and thrust into the rugged terrain of the Yukon, where he is made a sled dog. Strong dogs are in high demand as the Klondike gold rush rages on, and Buck must battle the bitter cold and savage lawlessness of man and beast, striving to serve the man who shows him kindness. Can he rise to the challenges he faces and once again become the master of his realm?
(P)2006 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Recensioni della critica
“Offers a strong and powerful narration by John Lee…As he brings every word to life, his enunciation is clear and his tone impassioned. He transports listeners to the desolate North…Simply stunning. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.”
(AudioFile)“[A] marvelously graphic picture...Fierce, brutal, splashed with blood, and alive with the crack of whip and blow of club.”
(San Francisco Chronicle)“In this classic…you’ll find profundity in its raw beauty and a new appreciation for canine independence.”
(Entertainment Weekly)“Fervently American.”
(E. L. Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author)“The Call of the Wild is the greatest dog story ever written and is at the same time a study of one of the most curious and profound motives that play hide-and-seek in the human soul.”
(Carl Sandburg, winner of Pulitzer Prizes for poetry and biography)“No other popular writer of his time did any better writing than you will find in The Call of the Wild…Here, indeed, are all the elements of sound fiction.”
(H. L. Mencken, American journalist, satirist, and scholar)
