Gelesen von Tom Crawford

(4,459 Sterne; 587 Bewertungen)

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."

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.

Reader rating only

(1 Sterne)

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.

great and GREAT!

(5 Sterne)

JL was an American treasure! What angers me is someone writing a long review of a book and reader they did not like at all. in that case, my advice is to STFU and move along. You do not need to be an asshole!

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.

What a Tale

(5 Sterne)

This work is in my top 20. Hella good story. I enjoyed that the narrator wasn't entirely the main character. The captain stayed himself till the end, he didn't become a likable angel which was greatly refreshing. The sea really is like it was depicted. Lol some said the reader was terrible, I honestly thought he was good.

God Help Us!

(1 Sterne)

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.

Sea Wolf

(4 Sterne)

Great adventure. Reader gains ones appreciation as story unfolds. Jack London’s life was too short. He surely got the short stick on parents and accomplished so much in his mere forty years. His work will stand the test of time and never go out of date.

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.
