Jack London’s Call of the Wild is an iconic title for multiple reasons. On the one hand, its descriptions of the beauty and savagery of life in the frozen north possess a nearly unmatched ability to transport listeners into a world they have never previously known. But on the other hand, beneath those incredible descriptions, is an unflinching look into what defines civilization, in both man and beast - and into how incredibly easily that civilization can vanish.

"The captain, or Wolf Larsen, as men called him, ceased pacing and gazed down at the dying man. So fierce had this final struggle become that the sailor paused in the act of flinging more water over him and stared curiously, the canvas bucket partly tilted and dripping its contents to the deck. The dying man beat a tattoo on the hatch with his heels, straightened out his legs, and stiffened in one great tense effort, and rolled his head from side to side."
