About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

"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)

A true leadership story, one that holds many a lesson for humans. Pablo Schreiber's narration deserves an award. If I had a quibble, I'd say the ending could have been stronger.

Wonderfully narrated, Superbly written, the journey of Buck is a lesson for humans as well. It is really necessary to recognise and follow our calls in life. Buck makes the leadership journey with style. Enjoyed the fact that though force may be required for learning., more can be accomplished by love

Wonderfully narrated, superbly written, a journey through life

The Sea Wolf, also by Jack London, is one of my favorite books. However, this book, which is about the life and adventures of a dog named Buck, failed to interest me. The narrator is not at fault, though.

I found the story boring
