To Build a Fire

To Build a Fire is the best known of all London's stories. It tells the story of a new arrival to the Klondike who stubbornly ignores warnings about the folly of traveling alone. He falls through the ice into a creek in 70-below weather, and his survival depends on being able to build a fire and dry his clothes—which he is unable to do. The famous version of this story was published in 1908.(P)2007 Listen and Live Audio, Inc.
