The Call of the Wild and Three Other Klondike Stories - Audio Cassette - Unabridged Author:Jack London, Roger Dressler (Narrator) Jack London's stories are classic American favorites. This recording contains "Call of the Wild" and three special Klondike stories: "To Build a Fire", "Love of Life" and "To the Man on the Trail". — In "Call of the Wild", a domestic dog is kidnapped from his comfortable life on a California e... more »state and thrown into the wild north woods. Buck, half St. Bernard and half Scottish shepherd, is a strong dog but not accustomed to the harsh life of the north and he must fight for survival. He learns how to work hard; how to dig a hole in a snowbank to stay warm; how to eat anything no matter how loathsome; how to scent the weather; how to break ice to find water; and most importantly, how to survive cruelty.
At one of the worst moments in his life, Buck receives unexpected human kindness from a new master. With the kind of devotion that only a dog can give, he shows loyalty to his master in ways that are both touching and profound.
