内容简介：In this quintessential adventure story, Jack London takes readers on an arduous journey through the forbidding Alaskan landscape during the gold rush of the 1890s. Buck, a rangy mixed breed used to a comfortable, sun-filled life as a family dog, is stolen by a greedy opportunist and sold to dog traffickers. In no time, Buck finds himself on a team of sled dogs run ragged in the harsh winter of the Klondike. In a climate where every day is a savage struggle for survival, the last traces of Buck's soft, pampered existence are erased as his dormant primordial urges -- deeply embedded for generations -- are brutally awakened.
大学时代读过一本影响到人生观的书，再次重温，依然迷醉。其实，人人心中都时不时会回响起the call of the wild。
Old longings nomadic leap, Chafing at custom's chain; Again from its brumal sleep Wakens the ferine strain.古老的漫游的欲望在跳跃，撕扯着习俗的链条；再一次从寒冬的沉睡里唤醒了野性的曲调。
自然主义代表作 Touching and passionate, great work of Naturalism. By the point of view of a dog---the winner of the law( the survival of the fittest), Jake London sugarcoated the cruel aspect of nature but simply showing the magnificence of the winner. Or should we say , he did his best to remain impartial and distant himself from the story.
