In a Far Country. A Short Story by Jack London
Ойын-сауық
In a Far Country" by Jack London tells the story of two men, Carter Weatherbee and Percy Cuthfert, who, ill-prepared for the harsh conditions of the Yukon, find themselves trapped in a remote cabin during the winter. Despite their differing backgrounds-Weatherbee being a disgruntled clerk seeking adventure and Cuthfert a gentleman of leisure-the extreme isolation and brutal environment force them to rely on each other for survival. However, as the winter progresses, their incompatibility and the strain of confinement lead to mounting tensions and a breakdown in civility. Their situation deteriorates further when they begin to hallucinate, seeing visions of the society they left behind, which exacerbates their despair.

Was a treat to hear a story so well read.... I felt as though I was there
I must have been a teenager the last time I read anything by Jack London. I think I've missed a lot.
Great story and narration. A. + A
I didn't realize I needed to listen to this today but thanks!
I'm from Oakland CA, and have visited Jack London Square many times. Somehow, I never equated him and his wonderful stories of the Great White North with Oakland. This is great to hear!
Thanks for uploading this 😀
His short story, " All gold canyon,," is a good read. Others also, thanks
OK, OK this guy is pretty good. I’m gonna check out his other stuff.

Universal theme that Most of us can identify with who ever has had a roommate or incompatible live-in
It extinguishes it in order be there for something new which may take millions of years to come to fruition
Still powerful stuff though.............
Can’t find this artwork anywhere - who is the artist?
Useless trivia fact: Jack London was the first author to make a million dollars though his writing.
Something almost normal?
Gripping
Jack London sure had a crush on the so-called "teutonic" race. I'm starting to see him in a different light than when i was young and stupid.

How can this reader pronounce ``tow'' like ``Tao;'' rhyming it with ``cow?!'' Any adult knows how to say ``tow truck'' and would know how to read this. Must be AI. And it said ``rebel'' as if it was being used as a noun, when using it as a verb, when the accent is then on the second syllable.
One minute in and the first thought tjat comes to mind is To bad the ones flooding our southern boarder don't feel the same.

You don’t need to capitalize the word “to” in the middle of a sentence, and it is spelled “too”. Two, to, too. These are homonyms, words that sound alike but with different meanings and spelling. Like the words “boarder” and “border”. The way you spelled it refers to a person who pays rent for a room and meals in a home, usually occupied by multiple people. Border is the political lines we humans delineate our countries with.
