The Cruise of the Snark
Summary
In 1906, without studying navigation, Jack London, his wife Charmian, and a small crew sail to the South Pacific, hoping not to get lost. His adventures and misadventures at sea led him through native uprisings, The Doldrums, and the then unknown sport of surfing. London, one of the most popular American writers of his time, describes the construction and outfitting of his boat in San Francisco, including frustrations with vendors, with which every boat owner will sympathize. London narrates his adventures in Hawaii, his perilous navigation across the Pacific sailing through the windless doldrums to the Marquesas Islands, Typee, Papeete, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Fiji, Samoa and The Solomon Islands, before being overcome by tropical diseases and fever. This first person narrative, in its first recording as an audiobook, combines London’s spirit of adventure with his wonderful sense of humor.

The Scarlet Plague
Summary
Jack London (1876-1916) was a journalist and a pioneer and innovator in the science fiction genre. The story of The Scarlet Plague takes place in 2073 in the San Francisco area, 60 years after an apocalyptic pandemic called the Red Death or Scarlet Plague has depopulated the Earth. James Smith, one of the survivors, lives with his grandsons who are hunter-gatherers in a tribal world. He relates the horror of the plague to them, and tells them of the time when he was a professor of English, and of the start of the pandemic.

El Llamado de la Selva [The Call of the Wild]
Summary
El mundo a traves de los ojos de un perro. La primera novela de Jack London, El Llamado de la Selva es una de esas obras unicas, en donde una serie de aventuras durante la fiebre del oro se ven a traves de la vision de un perro, de fidelidad unica, pero en el cual el llamado atavico de sus antepasados acaba triunfando. London estaba convencido de que la vuelta a la naturaleza, que en forma tan poderosa es en ultimas el tema de la novela, es el destino final de todo ser vivo. Es una obra llena de vida y de interes que no declina y por eso, es considerada basica dentro de la produccion de su autor. Es interesante ademas por que rompe con una cantidad de convenciones de la narrativa, entre ellas la de que no existe ningun romanticismo, sino que todo es descrito en forma impersonal. The Call of the Wild is one of those unique works, where a series of adventures during the gold rush is seen trough the eyes of a dog. It is a work full of life and interest that does not fade.

Storm: Stories of Survival from Land and Sea
Summary
Selections by Sebastian Junger, Michael Groom, Gordon Chaplin, Jack London, Rick Bass, Jack LeMoyne, John Vaillant, John Muir, Whitney Balliett, Richard Byrd, and more. Most people associate storms and other big weather with death - with the kind of force that makes each of us wonder about life, time, and the nature of our surroundings. Some people go out looking for bad weather or go to places where they're likely to encounter it. Others have the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Still, the stories in Storm have more to say than that. They tell us about what happens when people find that treacherous weather - or when it finds them - and we are reminded of the fragility of life, the capriciousness of nature's will, and how little we can do when both cross paths.
