About this listen
When Humphrey Van Weyden finds himself struggling in the freezing waters of San Francisco Bay, he thinks the worst that can happen to him is drowning. After he is rescued by the Ghost and its captain, Wolf Larson, Humphrey discovers that there are fates far worse than death.
On Larsen's hell-ship, the dilettante hero is forced to slave as cabin boy and humble seaman. Over the seven months' voyage to the sealing grounds off Siberia, he engages in an epic duel with his ruthlessly Nietzschean skipper, a conflict that must end with the death of one of them.
In Humphrey's story, Jack London recalls his own adventures on a sealing vessel at the age of 17. And in the vivid dialogs between Larsen and Van Weyden, he gives the clearest definition of his savage philosophy of life.

Amazing
I heard great things of this book but they don't do it justice. A great story delivered by a captivating narrator.

Better read than listen to
I read the story about 30 years ago. As my children were reading it now I thought I’ll cut corners with an audio version to refresh my memory of it … the choice of narrator is wrong and didn’t work for me. With such a monotonous, drawn out and complaining tone …. I had to switch back to the reading as it was unbearable to listen to.
Story wise, it’s a must read! Highly recommend for young readers in their formative years. My children 17 & 20 had great discussions among themselves and with friends as the whole bunch of them read it at the same time!
Interesting enough, my second read of it at 48 provoked different thoughts to those when I read it back in my teens!
Give it a go, audio or on paper, and hope you will enjoy it!
