图书简介: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.This is a public domain book converted by anonymous volunteers and you may find it for free on the web.This work is respectfully inscribed by the author.杰克·伦敦(1876-1916),美国20世纪最著名的作家之一。生于旧金山一个既无固定职业又无固定居所的家庭,幼年曾卖报、做童工,成年后当水手、铁路工人,因流浪而进过监狱,还曾到加拿大克朗代克地区淘金,因患坏血病而回国,从此埋头创作。著有19部长篇小说,150多篇短篇小说,3个剧本,大量文学报告集及随笔、论文,其中最为著名的有《荒野的呼唤》《海狼》《白牙》《马丁·伊登》《热爱生命》《沉寂的雪原》等。作品在全世界广为流传,是最受中国读者欢迎的外国作家之一。
