Jack London was an American novelist, journalist, social-activist and short-story writer whose works deal romantically with elemental struggles for survival. At his peak, he was the highest paid and the most popular of all living writers. Because of early financial difficulties, he was largely self educated past grammar school.
London drew heavily on his life experiences in his writing. He spent time in the Klondike during the Gold Rush and at various times was an oyster pirate, a seaman, a sealer, and a hobo. His first work was published in 1898. From there he went on to write such American classics as Call of the Wild, Sea Wolf, and White Fang
The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated and even somewhat pampered dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events finds him serving as a sled dog in the treacherous, frigid Yukon during the days of the 19th century Klondike Gold Rushes.
Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is one of London's most-read books, and it is generally considered one of his best. Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence.

这是一本无与伦比的关于野性与天性的小说。巴克不是一条狗也不是一头山寨的狼,他是人,是梦想,是我们每一个人潜藏于血液中的一股尚未磨灭的梦想,是当我们还用四肢走路游荡于一棵又一棵高大树杈上时就被基因埋下的梦想。而这种梦想更是一种天性,而我坚信一切事物的天性即为...
评分巴克本是条好狗。 在日复一日的平淡,不曾忍饥挨饿受虐待之前,巴克一直都是如此。它是条被驯养的狗,接受了文明人的教化、洗礼,融入了文明社会。 只是突然有一天,一切都变了,没有任何征兆,也没有什么人看到,管家便把它带走了。管家因赌博输了很多钱,把巴克给卖了。 ...
评分This is the second time I have read the story, and I have finished it in just an afternoon. What Buck really attracts me is the wolf living in him. In fact, I believe there is a wolf living in everybody. So what I want to do is to awaken the wolf and fight ...
评分Somehow I can hardly picture how Buck would physically look like, if he isn't a virtual legend, nor can I imagine the story of a civilian Southland dog surviving and becoming the leader among the sled dogs in the primitive, boreal land of Northen Canada, hi...
评分小时候就着昏黄的灯光,如饥似渴地读完。不过是0.3元薄薄的小书,承载着我对于少年时代无限的追忆和留恋。荒野的呼唤,是the call of the wild的最好翻译
There is a patience of the wild-dogged,tireless,persistent as life itself-that holds motionless for endless hours the spider in its web,the snake in its coils,the panther in its ambuscade;this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it hunts its living food.

评分为了看这本书。在卡迪夫中央车站看着本该搭乘的列车离去,紧接着发生的一切:跟英国女乘客去理论,在列车员指导下跳上去伦敦的车去布里斯托转车以为一切会被交待好,疯狂查车次发现布里斯托不会有车甚至整个英国除了伦敦都没车回利兹,看着伦敦的车票价格被吓得半死却还是将错坐到了那里,在国王十字车站奔跑买了超贵的地铁票追上了去利兹的最后一班列车,去向列车员求情却被她奚落一番,转战汽车站发现买今晚的票为时已晚,等半小时公交去麦当劳上车却只能刷卡,半夜进上锁快关门的车站买卡发现优惠卡又不在身上,凌晨两点半在公交上又坐在麦当劳里。路边无家可归的人蜷缩在睡袋,玩乐途中的年轻人穿着单衣抱手走在一起。我想说操你伦敦,可事实是无情的都市里愚蠢的我无家可归。HOBO!
