Story
Young Henry Fleming used to play soldier and dream of being a hero, but when he faces his first battle - the Battle of Chancellorsville - he finds that heroism is not at all what he had expected. Shells burst in front of him like strange flowers, gunfire ripped toward him in great crackling sheets of flame, and all around him, blue-coated figures lie still on the blood-drenched grass. Remarkably, Stephen Crane wrote this realistic tale of the terror of war without ever witnessing a battle.

Story
From the renowned author Jack London comes two classic adventure stories about primitivism, nature, and early 20th-century life. Seen through the eyes of two dogs, their stories are distinct yet share similarities, and they have cemented London as a literary genius and writer. Including complex themes such as morality and redemption, Jack London’s classic works have stood the test of time and remain central examples of literary fiction, a must-hear for anyone interested in the brilliant works of the past.

Ejnar Mikkelsen was devoted to Arctic exploration.

Iver Iversen was a mechanic who joined Mikkelsen in Iceland when the expedition’s boat needed repair.

In this short book illuminated by a deep understanding and love of humanity, John Steinbeck retells an old Mexican folk tale: the story of the great pearl, how it was found, and how it was lost. For the diver Kino, finding a magnificent pearl means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to the tragedy. For Steinbeck, Kino and his wife illustrate the fall from innocence of people who believe that wealth erases all problems.

Story
From the renowned author Jack London comes two classic adventure stories about primitivism, nature, and early 20th-century life. Seen through the eyes of two dogs, their stories are distinct yet share similarities, and they have cemented London as a literary genius and writer. Including complex themes such as morality and redemption, Jack London’s classic works have stood the test of time and remain central examples of literary fiction, a must-hear for anyone interested in the brilliant works of the past.

Took me back...
As I listened to the story, I was taken back to when I was young and wanted nothing more but to be a trapper in the wilds of Alaska. For a while I was that boy again, even if only for a while, great classic book.

Well.
So much for wanting to enjoy classics. I can't tell you my feelings on this book without giving spoilers so I'll leave you with 3 stars for the story (anger was associated with the outcome of this story) and 5 stars for performance.

Vivid classic brought to life
This classic story is told in 3rd person through the POV of Buck, a Saint Bernard / Scotch Shepherd mix. When the story opens, Buck is "living the life of a sated aristocrat" in Southern California, 1897. Suddenly stolen from his home by a treacherous servant, Buck is forced to pull sleds in Alaska during the Klondike Strike.
Peter Husmann masterfully gave voice to Buck's thoughts and feelings. He portrayed Buck's keen intelligence as he strove to quickly learn the sledding ropes, the laws of survival (how does a dog sleep in the snow?), becoming lead dog in the team, taking on the vicious Spitz. I could feel Buck's determination and -- later -- his numb exhaustion and despair as he was nearly driven to an exhausted end by The Hateful Hal.
Husmann clearly portrayed the joy and love Buck felt for his beloved John Thornton, and the fun of romping around with John's dogs: Skeet the Irish Setter and Nig the black deer hound.
Most Memorable Scenes:
Buck's suffering, especially at the hands of abusive Hal, Charles, and Mercedes.
His utter devotion to John Thornton, never letting him out of his sight.
The whitewater rapids scene.
The Bet. Pull 1000 pounds 100 yards to win $1600 for JT.
Hunting and killing an injured moose buck. (Not my favorite scene, but vivid.)
Be warned: The ending is not sugar coated.
