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.

Buck's life was alike a human's life. When the comfortable surroundings that you get used to were accidentally destroyed, you would have to face up to transformations to keep alive. Initially he was a domestic dog and finally a completely wild wolf with onl...
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...

句式简短,很好读。为什么它是经典呢?我觉得和《角斗士》那部电影给人感觉差不多呢,都是弱肉强食,原始力量的展现。
评分这是 Jack London 的处女作,从一只混血圣伯纳的视角来看人与狗之间的关系,记录了它从驯化到野化的过程。故事其实不算精巧,文笔细看也不动人,唯一能解释它在上世纪初期风靡全美的理由也许就是作者的真诚。他此后的作品都没有达到这本书的高度,证明了写作光有真诚是远远不够的。
评分要做一只狼!!!!!! 不过还得再找一只公的陪自己才行。。。
评分桑顿死了。与人类的最后一丝温情联结就此断裂。巴克自由了。
评分Read this spring-summer.
