The Sea-Wolf

Product Description Torn by a quirk of fate from his life as a dilettante and intellectual, Humphrey van Weydon finds himself at the whim of the ruthless Wolf Larsen. The two men -- the one youthful, idealistic, and upper-class, the other ruthless, dangerous, self-taught and self-determined -- inevitably become adversaries. As he does in Call of the Wild and White Fang, Jack London here dramatizes the violent encounter between safe, genteel comfort and a brutal set of circumstances. Oscar nominee Stuart Whitman, whose roles have included many rugged characters such as Wolf Larsen, delivers a compelling dramatic reading. 2 cassettes. Review "The Sea Wolf is a thrilling book, in the old-fashioned sense, and it still manages to convey the underlying ideas that obsessed its author. Veteran actor Stuart Whitman...reads the story brilliantly. His gravelly, manly voice is perfect." -- Sun-Sentinel, September 1990"I had read this London book when I was a kid; it was exciting then, and Whitman's fine performance makes it exciting now." -- Barry Palmer, Union Leader, February 1991 About the Author Stuart Whitman played the role of Marshall Jim Crown on the television series Cimarron Strip and has performed in more than fifty films.
