White Fang (Version 2)
Jack London
Leído por Mark F. Smith
When White Fang is birthed in a cave to a wolf sire and a wolf/dog halfbreed dam, he is heir to two traditions. At first he is content to explore and learn laws of the Wild. But then his mother is caught and held by old memories of a past relationship with Man, and White Fang follows her into service with the Indians. Life among sled dogs is hardly less cruel and dangerous than living in the Wild, but brutality notches upward when his drunken master sells him to a nasty, twisted hanger-on at a riverside town of white men. He is stripped of everything soft and gentle when forced to fight to the death for a crowd of bettors.
Taming this savage spirit and reclaiming the nobility within looks impossible. Fortunately, and heart-warmingly, a man arrives in White Fang's life to try.
"White Fang" is often called the mirror image of Jack London's acclaimed "The Call of the Wild" in which a dog follows the reverse arc from tame to free. (summary by Mark) (7 hr 43 min)

Reseñas
Well worth it!
alclubb
This book is much more complex than The Call if the Wild. It delves with more depth into the themes that were just touched upon in the earlier book. At times, it was a bit slow, but patience is rewarded in the end. Mark Smith did a stellar job of reading this book, just as he did with The Call of the Wild. He is a great reader and his pace and clearness of voice are perfect.
my new favourite book <3

Great Sequel

I can't say it's more or less of anything than the call of the wild. a jack london book of many stories in one. definitely worth the listen. good tempo and a vivid picture of events. I most enjoyed the first third while the story was in the wilderness before the mad owner appeared. I couldn't listen to his part in the story because it was breaking my heart. thanks to Mark Smith for the excellent reading. you sure know your trade. some people complained about the readers in version one. pity they didn't listen to version 2. thank you Jack london.
White Fang - grrr!
TheBookworm
An excellent reading of this American classic. Jack London was fascinated by the relationship of nature and culture, instinct and learned behaviour. The wolf dog White Fang obeys "natural laws" that are honest, albeit cruel. Culture, however, creates and glorifies cruelty for its own sake. There's no doubt which Jack London valued higher. The reading by Mark Smith of Simpsonville, South Caroline is, as usual, of professional quality. Well done and thank you. (One day I must visit Simpsonville to see what it's like!)

Read this first time 50+ years ago
I am dust, HE IS WIND
The story touched me then as a young boy. It was as enjoyable today as an old man. The years fell away. It was as if I was 12 years old again! The reader was enjoyable and the author has not lost his magic over those 50+ years. Only one negative in my listening experience. The annoying practice of repeating title and author twice at the beginning of each chapter. Once is understandable, but twice?
Beautiful
A LibriVox Listener
Brutal, blunt, and harsh telling of a young wolf's journey through life that had me on the edge of my seat and close to tears. It did an excellent job of putting me in White Fang's proverbial shoes as I'm sure it was meant to do, to see first-hand, the wrongs of cruelty. I say it is beautiful because for me, the end payoff was well deserved. Excellent reader all the way through.
