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.

I don't know if Jack London intended for this to be a didactic tale, but it certainly is. When the Yukon experts say don't go out when it's 50 degrees below zero it's best to pay attention. The man, he is never given a name, Sally's forth when it is actually 75 degrees below zero. London takes us into the mind of the man and the dog as the man heads to his doom. Read by award-winning audiobook narrator and producer Mike Vendetti, make sure you are in a warm room when you listen to this tale of the North because at 75 degrees below zero, it is cold.

The story of The Scarlet Plague takes place in 2073 in the San Francisco area, 60 years after an apocalyptic pandemic called the Red Death or Scarlet Plague has depopulated the Earth. James Smith, one of the survivors, lives with his grandsons who are hunter-gatherers in a tribal world. He relates the horror of the plague to them, and tells them of the time when he was a professor of English, and of the start of the pandemic. His grandsons, who are of limited cognitive ability, refuse to believe him; they cannot believe that the disease was spread by germs.

En période de pénurie un tout jeune homme se lance dans un périple à travers les États-Unis en empruntant les trains de façon clandestine. Entre errance et aventure, sorte de clochard ferroviaire, il serra confronté à la faim, au froid, aux doutes, aux humiliations, à des rencontres plus ou moins recommandables et aussi à la prison. Par ce récit tiré de son expérience autobiographique, l'auteur nous livre un parcours chaotique dans un monde parfois brutal, parfois secourable mais où l'emporte la soif de liberté d'une jeunesse audacieuse.

Stolen by a gardener's assistant, Buck, a St. Bernard cross, is taken from his comfortable life in the south and sold as a sled dog at the height of the Klondike gold rush. Thrust into the savage world of the frozen north, Buck must reconnect with his old ancestry to survive in this forbidding environment. Written by Jack London who spent a year himself in the Yukon, The Call of the Wild has never been out of print since its initial release in 1903.

Jack London was an American novelist and journalist who is considered the world’s first literary celebrity. Looking at The Story of Keesh, published in 1904, it is clear how London could have achieved such prominence. The Story of Keesh is a simple yet compelling short moral fable about the eponymous Keesh, an outcast of an Inuit tribe, and his quest to honor his late father’s legacy by providing the condemnatory but starving tribe with meat.

Jack London (1876-1916) wrote extensively of the Klondike Gold Rush. This is the story of Kink Mitchell and Hootchinoo Bill who came to the Yukon in 1896. The claim called 24 Eldorado finally brought a huge surprise for them and for Ans Handerson.
