    About this audiobook

    FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar el audiolibro La Llamada de la Selva de Jack London, que narra la historia de un perro llamado Buck, nacido del cruce de un San Bernardo con una perra escocesa de pastor. Su existencia ha transcurrido en las tibias tierras del Sur como dueño indiscutible de la granja del juez Miller. Pero, su plácida vida doméstica da un giro inesperado, al ser robado por uno de los empleados de la granja y vendido a unos traficantes.
    Cuando el descubrimiento de los yacimientos auríferos arrastra hacia los hielos de Alaska a hombres de todas partes del globo, Buck es comercialmente vendido y enviado al Norte. Sin ser ya acariciado ni respetado, en una tierra salvaje y hostil, se ve obligado a doblegarse a la ley primitiva del bastón y el látigo, a soportar los arreos y a tirar del trineo. Sus músculos se hacen duros como el hierro, se despierta en él, el instinto primordial de las antiguas generaciones; en los fríos páramos, volverá a ser lobo.
    Su vida se hace aún más triste cuando pasa al servicio de tres pendencieros que movidos por el afán de la aventura, topan con la peligrosa pista ártica. Buck les obedece lleno de tristes presentimientos y los tres ineptos acaban pereciendo con los demás perros, pero él es salvado por Thornton, un hombre justo que se convierte por una íntima y misteriosa conexión, en su amigo, su amor, su dios. Desde entonces, el sentimiento de Buck por su nuevo amo es pura adoración. Sin embargo, durante sus largas peregrinaciones, Buck siente renacer en sí, cada vez más fuerte, el instinto atávico que le impulsa a internarse en la selva, a aproximarse al lobo, "su hermano salvaje". Sólo el amor a su amo le mantiene entre los hombres y cuando Thornton es asesinado por una cuadrilla de indios, Buck corre al lado de sus salvajes hermanos, proyectando con su aullido LA LLAMADA DE LA SELVA, la canción de los días primitivos del mundo.

      This book was a nice change of pace for me as I hadn't read a classic story in quite some time. I must say, I really enjoyed this short novel centered around the dog Buck. I think it is a very interesting idea to center a book around a dog, and London pulls it off beautifully. It takes us through the entire life of the dog, from his life on a farm to his days as a sled dog in Alaska. The transformation Buck makes from domesticated pet to primitive, instinctual animal is fascinating to read and think about. The descriptive language used by the author is outstanding. Overall, I can see why this is considered a classic and I look forward to reading more of him.
    • 5/5
      I listened to this audio and enjoyed the story very much. I can't believe I never read this before. I loved Jack London's intuitive feeling for animals. This story traces Buck's sudden entry into the wild and his education in survival among the wolves. Jack London's writing is exceptional and makes him one of the greatest American storytellers. If you haven't read this yet, you should as it is a quick, easy and thrilling read.
    • 3/5
      It was fun to read this again, as I had only the vaguest recollection from reading it as a kid. Refreshingly unsentimental in its depiction of the natural world, it raises important questions about yearning for a life "beyond good and evil." A walk on the wild side...
    • 4/5
      The amount of violence and animal cruelty in this book made it a surprisingly difficult read. I was expecting something a bit more easy going.

      Despite being a book from the point of view from a dog in the Yukon, it was extremely relatable and applicable. The power struggles were interesting, and the struggle between individualism and teamwork. and I loved the commentary of the return of the instincts vs the degradation of Buck's civilized/human side. Even though most of the humans in this book are anything but civilized.
    • 2/5
      The author seems to know an awful lot about dog fights, assuming this was not plagiarized.
    • 5/5
      Book title and author: The Call of the Wild by Jack London. Reviewed 6/5/234Why I picked this book up: it was the next book in The Banned Books Compendium: 32 Classic Forbidden Books by Gringory Lukin (Editor) I won in April 23. Actually, it was the next book after The Awakening and Selected Short Stories (by Kate Chopin) that I have not fully reviewed yet, probably because of my harsh feeling of a wife and mother from traditional familial and prioritizing mothering over her own children that fully rubbed me the wrong way (I am working up to reviewing it though) Thoughts: from the beginning of this book in Banned Books compendium “The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively more primitive and wild in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild.London spent almost a year in the Yukon, and his observations form much of the material for the book. The story was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published later that year in book form. The book's great popularity and success made a reputation for London. As early as 1923, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several “cinematic adaptations.London's story is a tale of survival and a return to primitivism. Pizer writes that: "the strong, the shrewd, and the cunning shall prevail when ...life is bestial”“Jack London's writing was censored in several European dictatorships in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1929, Italy banned all cheap editions of his Call of the Wild, and that same year Yugoslavia banned all his works as being "too radical." They were probably concerned about the ethos of individualism and attacks on totalitarianism in this and other books by London.In 1932, Call of the Wild was thrown into the Nazi bonfires along with other books.”Why I finished this read: This amazing book dramatically pulled me in, made me care for Buck, it motivated me, laid out the path to greatness from force of nature, instinct, hard, lengthy struggle in bitter cold, wolves, ravages, consistency, not giving up hope, teamwork, being the lead dogs in the sled team, to the experiencing and feeling what rupture was like being in all they went through to the ecstasy of the summit of life.Stars rating: 5 of 5. This is more than a dog sled team book. I highly recommend buy and obviously reading it multiple times.
    • 5/5
      What a great, timeless and wonderful story. The story of Buck an unbreakable dog removed from a life of luxury and thrown into the cold and heartless adventure of the Alaskan wilds. A true story of heart and courage. At times the story is extremely violent but it all works. A story of such depth could never be told without the true grit in which London puts in its pages.
    • 5/5
      Another re-read of an old favourite was exactly what I needed yesterday. Jack London's masterpiece stands the test of time, and it's a snapshot of what it was like in the Klondike during the madness of the gold rush. Being Canadian, I can relate to the winter scenes and even to the gorgeous scenery. We are very fortunate to still have lots of beautiful wilderness in the province of Alberta. I love dogs, and Buck, as I remember, was the ultimate dog for me when I read this book the first time as a child. If you need a picker-upper or you're looking for a little nostalgia, pick up this little gem (or any one of the classics that you enjoyed as a child) and turn off the world for just a little while.
    • 5/5
      Moving, powerful, and beautifully written. I leaked from my eyes more than once.

      Good Yukon adventure from dog's point of view. I remember he eventually left men and joined the wolves. It's been a long time.

      The Call of the Wild by Jack London. I read this when I was about 10 years old. A long time ago. This book is included in the book "1000 Books to Read Before You Die" by James Mustich published in 2019. I've got a long way to go to finish this list. Posted on Vintage Paperback FB page. 10/20/22
    • 5/5
      Excellent writing but I can see why I didn't like this in junior high - the cruelty to animals is pretty difficult to take. I saw recently that this is on a "banned book" list - have no idea why.
    • 4/5
      This is a classic I missed reading while growing up. While watching the recent movie adaptation w/ Harrison Ford, I made a note to fix this wrong and read this book soon.

    • 2/5
      fiction. Family pet stolen/sold for work in Alaska/yukon gold rush (historical fiction/dog's point of view--some parts more accurate than other parts).
    • 4/5
      Jack London was vocal in his socialist views, and it was interesting to think of that while reading about this brutal, dog-eat-dog world of the Klondike Gold Rush, which he himself had been a part of at the tender age of 21. He created some indelible images, such as the dangerous impracticality of the inexperienced prospectors that leads to their demise out on a frozen lake, and the novella is a good read. I think he was less successful in anthropomorphizing the dogs, as to me it took away from the grim realism of the setting, and unfortunately we also get a couple of glimpses of London’s racism as well. Overall, I wish it had been fleshed out and had a perspective shift, but as a fable and a window into the past, it has some charm.
    • 5/5
      This was one of my favorite books as a kid. The first version I read was an abridged edition designed for children with lots of illustrations. I did read the original a few years later, when my reading ability caught up with my taste. This book gave childhood me puppy fever, even though before that I was afraid of dogs because one chased and tried to bite me. I was raised by cat people, you see, so I didn't know that the dog was trying to play. Now I know better. My favorite stuffed animal from the time was a husky that I named after Buck, a toy that I still own at thirty, even though one of my dogs chewed its ear a bit. Anyway, childhood love aside, Jack London is one of my favorites for this book and White Fang. This may be one of the sources of my anthropomorphized animal story love affair, and I am not ashamed of it in the least.

      3.5/5

      The Call of the Wild is told from the dog Buck's point of view.

      I read this as a teenager but I don't remember much of it. I do remember that I received it as a Christmas present and that it was part of a package of classic books, but that's about it.

      I'm glad I re-read this, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did back in the day,(if I remember correctly). I am not a person that enjoys anything with animal abuse and as I get older I find myself less and less tolerant of those sorts of scenes.

      Overall though, this book was interesting and kind of neat,being that it was told from the dog's POV.
    • 5/5
      The Call of the Wild by Jack LondonI re-read Call of the Wild by listening to it on audio from Audible. Although I have read it a few times over the years, I wanted to refresh it in my mind before seeing the up-coming movie. I am so glad that I did. I never fail to be taken back to my positive reading experiences of youth and the simple and powerful story lines where classics such as: White Fang, Old Yeller, Where the Red fern Grows, and Call of the Wild bring to the reader. It is perfect for young readers and those that love animal or dog stories. It does describe the cruelties and hardships endured by these wonderful dogs so consider this when choosing for a child. I give this story a 5 stars and consider it a classic.
    • 5/5
      Great book. Everyone should read it.
    • 3/5
      When I initially read this American classic, I was in either elementary or high school. It had all the elements to entice a young boy. It is an adventure which occurs during the Yukon gold rush. The story's protagonist is Buck, an 140 lb St. Bernard and Scotch Collie mix, who is abducted from an easy life as the pet in St. Clara, California, and sold to dog traders who eventually sells him to mail couriers as a sled dog in the Yukon Territory. Buck will need to tap in to his more primeval instincts if he is to survive the harsh northern conditions. The third reason I chose this book is that it was short at less than 100 pages. I had recently read Moby Dick and I needed a break!It has been good revisiting some of the classics I read as a youth. They become more enjoyable when you understand better literary themes and metaphors.
    • 5/5
      It's pretty hard to find fault with this story or the way it's told. It was particularly engaging to read while my family is in the process of rehabilitating a very fearful rescue dog. Jack London is among the go-to authors for perspective on how we think when you pare away frivolous comforts - and that's exemplified in CotW.
    • 1/5
      Maybe it's because I'm not a dog, but I just don't find it interesting being in the mind of Buck. I was very excited to read this because so many people raved about it, but it just didn't hold my interest even as a child.
    • 4/5
      Trust, betrayal, loyalty and animal cruelty. A heart wrenching story about the life of dogs during the gold rush from an animal POV. I am not always a fan of such an approach but it worked well here. Highly engaging (worked well for an audiobook) but not black and white, as I could relate even to the most "evil" characters. I guess that's why it's a "classic" (mental note: "Read more classics"=).
    • 4/5
      I read this book a few pages at a time (distracted by Facebook, Instagram & Twitter - the usual suspects). When I finally finished it I felt I had read a wonderful, though quite violent, story. Yes, despite flaws, a great tale.
    • 5/5
      Another childhood favorite.
    • 3/5
      Honestly, the best part about this book was that it was narrated by Jeff Bridges. I love animal books but I feel as if I really would have enjoyed this much more in my youth. The Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a mixed breed dog who is stolen from cozy home and his lush life as a house dog to be taken up north to be a sled dog during the Yukon Gold Rush. Buck quickly acclimates to the tough life and sets himself apart from the other dogs with his strength, smarts, and cunning. Told entirely through Buck's perspectives, this was one of the first popular books that had an animal as a narrator. To me the most interesting parts were about the wilderness, the scenery, and the people; it was a fascinating time during the late 1800s! Even though it is a little violent, this is a great kids book, especially for animal lovers!
    • 4/5

      I was quite impressed by this book. I expected a simple, canine adventure story. I did get an adventure story, but the most interesting part was the inner journey. As you read it, keep in mind that Mr. London sets up Buck as a person. It's easy to identify with him, and more difficult to identify with most of the humans in the story. It's definitely food for thought.
    • 3/5
      These tales are so brutal."All the easy moral maxims of social life are tested - and most found wanting - in this ferocious landscape. This sometimes seems to be one of London's driving motives, as though his calling is to remind everyone of the chill below the warmth of our cozy social conventions." (Tobey Hiller)
