Description
To Build a Fire (Part 1)
*Based on the short story by Jack London*
Welcome to Season Four of Quiet English with Jacque.
We begin with one of the most powerful adventure stories ever written — *To Build a Fire* by Jack London.
A lone man walks through the frozen Yukon wilderness, confident and unafraid. Beside him, a wolf-dog moves quietly through the snow — sensing something the man cannot yet understand. The cold is not ordinary cold. And the journey ahead is longer than he knows.
In this first part, we follow the man as he travels deeper into the frozen north… and begins to feel the first quiet whisper of danger.
