by Jack London
Chapter I

Into the Primitive
   Old longings nomadic leap,     Chafing at custom's chain;     Again from its brumal sleep     Wakens the ferine strain. Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide- water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego.  Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.  These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost. Buck lived at a big house

Subject: last readers
the last reader is the famous miette, among my personal audiolit favourites. the previous reader, jean, does an excellent and crisp reading... so i'd suggest other listeners have a listen for themselves and make up their own minds.
