“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.

2.5 stars via audiobook - some truly beautiful passages, but stayed relatively disinterested overall. Sorry London.

The version I had had some additional stories with dogs by Jack London. These however are not nearly as good as the Call of The Wild. What would be a 5 star book is dragged down to a 4.

A product of its time in regards to the casual racism and sexism that crops up without warning
