Robust tales of perilous adventure and animal cunning
Includes Diable: A Dog, An Odyssey of the North, To the Man on the Trail, To Build a Fire, and Love of Life Out of the white wilderness, out of the Far North, Jack London, one of America’s most popular authors, drew the inspiration for the novel and five short stories included here. Swiftly paced and vividly written, they capture the main theme of London’s work: man’s instinctive reversion to primitive behavior when pitted against the brute force of nature.
《野性的呼唤》,又名《荒野的呼唤》(The Call of the Wild),以一只狗的经历表现文明世界的狗在主人的逼迫下回到野蛮,写的是狗,也反映人的世界。 热望本已在,蓬勃脱尘埃:沉沉长眠后,野性重归来。 巴克原是法官家的一只爱犬,经过了文明的教化,一直生活在美国南部一个温暖的山谷里。后被卖到美国北部寒冷偏远、盛产黄金的阿拉斯加,成了一只拉雪橇的狗。
