The Sea-Wolf is a novel written in 1904 by American author Jack London. An immediate bestseller, the first printing of forty thousand copies was sold out before publication. Of it, Ambrose Bierce wrote "The great thing—and it is among the greatest of things—is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen... the hewing out and setting up of such a figure is enough for a man to do in one lifetime."

I can't rate the book...I couldn't even get through the first chapter. The reader had such a monotonous voice and did not enunciate well at all. Couldn't understand half of what he was saying. I really wanted to listen to this book, but with this reader, not a chance.

Amazing!!!


(5 Sterne)

surprisingly not about a wolf at sea. still an excellent and thrilling story. I didn't think I would like it, because I have no interest in the theme of the book. but it is very good, well narrated and keeps you interested. I never felt bored listening to it. I have recommended to many people.

One of my all time favorites!


(5 Sterne)

The simple sterness of a philosophy formed by harsh struggle for life, contrasted against the more common moral conception. This is an adventure framing questions of simply deep origin, told in the captivating style which is the literary fingerprint of Jack London.

Definite favorite


(5 Sterne)

First a defense for the reader in rebuttal to several other reviews. I found this reader to be excellent for the story. The style may put you off at first, but I found that he is a great match for the story. I have enjoyed his reading on other Jack London stories. When I came across the suggestion to listen at 1.2 speed I thought that was an excellent idea, but I soon realized I enjoyed it much more at his true pace. This is a masterfully written tale of the Sea. The characters are complex and intriguing. The description of sailing and of the sea are absolutely top-notch. One of the very few stories I have listened to more than once.

God Help Us!

A goof story but told so badly. Mispronunciation, poor timing and a complete inability to tell a story: these are the undying memories of my attempt to listen. Give me AI every time over this. Please put this creature out of its misery and send it back to thd deep.

awful reader

monotone delivery sounded like he had a mouthful of chewing gum. it needed to come with razor blades so i could end my life before before the next sentence. the reading ruined a great story

Speed


(5 Sterne)

I have listened to this recording 3 times now and I would recommend listening at 1.2 speed. Love this orator.

excellent story, monotone reader


(4 Sterne)

a capturing tale of life on the sea & castaway on an island. some romance thrown in as well, but nothing more than romantic feelings described. and becoming a man under a tyrant. an excellent story. the reader though is very monotone very often and I would find my mind drifting or getting sleepy then have to rewind. he has a wonderful voice, but lacks changes in pitch.
