The Call of the Wild

Written by Jack London

Narrated by Ethan Hawke

Set in the frozen wasteland of the Yukon, Jack London's most popular and enduring work is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the fight for survival. Buck— a mix of St. Bernard and Scotch Shepherd— is a loyal family pet until cruel men steal him and make him a pawn in their feverish search for gold. Brutally beaten into serving as a sled dog, Buck finds the blood of his wolf ancestors rising within him. Unable to resist the call from the Alaskan wilderness, he breaks free to roam as the leader of a ferocious wolf pack. This audio version is performed by Ethan Hawke, who starred in the film adaptation of another Jack London novel, White Fang.

Jack London

Jack London (1876-1916) was not only one of the highestpaid and most popular novelists and short-story writers of his day, he was strikingly handsome, full of laughter, and eager for adventure on land or sea. His stories of high adventure and firsthand experiences at sea, in Alaska, and in the fields and factories of California still appeal to millions of people around the world.
