The Call of the Wild
Summary
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.

L'appel sauvage
Summary
"Buck ne lisait pas les journaux, sinon il aurait su que cela risquait de barder, pas seulement pour lui, mais pour tous les chiens de la côte, à forte musculature et à longs poils chauds, du détroit de Puget à San Diego. Des hommes, qui cherchaient à l'aveuglette dans les ténèbres arctiques, avaient découvert un métal jaune, et des compagnies de paquebots et de navigation claironnaient la trouvaille : voilà pourquoi des milliers d'êtres humains se ruaient vers les terres du Nord. Or ces hommes voulaient des chiens..." L'appel sauvage, plus connu sous le titre de L'appel de la forêt, est non seulement le livre le plus emblématique de London sur le Grand Nord, mais bien davantage encore : par-delà l'aventure du chien Buck, entraîné dans la terrifiante ruée vers l'or du Klondike en 1897, rudoyé et humilié par la chiennerie humaine, c'est un extraordinaire hymne à la gloire - ambigüe - du monde sauvage.

Construire un feu
Summary
"Il se souvint des conseils du vieux de Sulphur Creek. Ce dernier lui avait exposé avec la plus grande gravité la règle de survie selon laquelle aucun homme ne doit voyager seul dans la région du Klondike, quand la température passe au-dessous de moins quarante-cinq degrés. Néanmoins, il s'y était risqué. Il avait eu l'accident tant redouté et il était seul." Cette nouvelle, l'une des plus connues de Jack London, est une étonnante évocation du courage et de l'énergie propres aux aventuriers du Grand Nord. Une magnfique leçon pour ne pas oublier que, dans ces contrées, il ne faut jamais voyager seul...

The Jack London Classic: The Call of the Wild: (Annotated)
Summary
Unique to this title: A historical introduction An overview of The Call of the Wild A study of the themes present in The Call of the Wild A list of famous quotes from The Call of the Wild You may of course skip all of it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning. Jack London was born in San Francisco in 1876, as John Griffith Chaney. He was an illegitimate child of Flora Wellman and William Chaney. When Chaney refused to marry Flora Wellman, she tried to kill herself. She survived, but refused to take care of the baby. So, London was raised by an African-American woman and a former slave. His mother later married a man named John London, and that is probably how his surname changed to London. In The Call of the Wild, Buck is a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life gets turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon in the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail-delivery dog sled team, Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime as he ultimately finds his true place in the world. Enjoy this timeless classic!
