章节摘录
His father， Elmo， a huge St Bernard， had been the Judges inseparablecompanion， and Buck bid fair to follow in the way of his father. He wasnot so large， ——he weighed only one hundred and forty pounds， ——for hismother， Shep， had been a Scotch shepherd dog. Nevertheless， one hundredand forty pounds， to which was added the dignity that comes of good livingand universal respect， enabled him to carry himself in right royal fashion.During the four years since his puppyhood he had lived the life of a satedaristocrat; he had a fine pride in himself， was even a trifle egotistical， ascountry gentlemen sometimes become because of their insular situation.But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere pampered house-dog.Hunting and kindred outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardenedhis muscles; and to him， as to the cold-tubbing races， the love of water hadbeen a tonic and a health preserver. And this was the manner of dog Buck was in the fall of 1897， whenthe Klondyke strike dragged men from all the world into the frozenNorth. But Buck did not read the newspapers， and he did not know thatManuel， one of the gardeners helpers， was an undesirable acquaintance.Manuel had one besetting sin. He loved to play Chinese lottery. Also， inhis gambling， he had one besetting weakness faith in a system; and thismade his damnation certain. For to play a system requires money， whilethe wages of a gardeners helper do not lap over the needs of a wife andnumerous progeny.

内容概要
杰克·伦敦(1876-1916年)，美国20世纪著名的现实主义作家，是美国文学史上最重要的作家之一。出生于美国加利福尼亚旧金山的一个破产农民家庭。从1900年起，他连续发表了许多中短篇小说，因其作品大都带有浓厚的社会主义色彩，因此有人认为他是宣扬社会主义的作家，但也有人认为他是表现个人主义与民众哲学的自然主义作家。他的作品不仅在美国本土广为流传，而且受到世界各国人民的欢迎，是最受中国读者欢迎的外国作家之一。杰克·伦敦一生著述颇丰，其中最著名的有《马丁·伊登》、《野性的呼唤》、《雪虎》、《热爱生命》等。

This novel revolves around Buck, a civilized dog who at first led a cozy and carefree life and then was deprived of moral nature by his○1 transient masters, John Thornton excluded, during his toil of trace and trail for gold fever in Alaska. His capability to adjust himself to changing conditions enabled him to survive in the hostile Northland environment. His prodigious struggle for supremacy with Spitz demonstrated his gradual return to the primordial trait. And ultimately, though kept from the wild due to his beloved savior—Thornton, he returned to the wild, severing his ties with human. The novel’s allegorical dog-eat-dog principle in human affairs was well exemplified in the story. Not only was it an allegory, it was a kind of autobiography as well. It was a vivid reflection of London’s own experiences as a protestor against the evils of the raw, new capitalism and against capitalism itself. The essence of this novel is the imperative call for human’s primitive force, perpetual freedom and a brighter future.The development of a civilized society has left numerous treasures, and at the same time overshadowed human’s nature, restricted and withering away. Buck’s aspiration for freedom and self-realization, though having some limitations with the growth of social systems, echoes the perennial pursuit of human——freedom. London’s failure to apply his disciplines—freedom and justice—to his life and work is one more instance of the failure of success in America and, as such, is a symptom and a menace from which our own age can and should profitably learn.

封皮直接都比内部小，书页也都皱了，这叫我情何以堪。更重要的是，封面和里面的字体完全无法接受，太没有审美了。纸页也是煞白的，也没有手感可言。后来买了wordworth版的Call of the Wild + White Fang，完爆其十条街。总之，外研社这一次不知在想什么。 -
野性的文字，引发生命原始的冲动！ -

还是在上大学的时候看的这本书，印象很深，但不记得是谁的译本。当时不大注意这种信息。之所以吸引我记住它，可能是因为小说的情节吧，所以此时我已经忘了具体情节，只记得大致内容。
人人心中都该有那种异样的呼声。它让你想抛开日常的面具和形象，换上别的摸样，过过其他程式的生活，多个角度感受人生、世界，包括自我。又或者，我们从未做过真正的自己，只活在别人的期待里，自己都不知道真正的自己应该是什么样子的，换一种别的生活，会是什么样子。
发现真正的自己，需要勇气。我们害怕改变别人眼中的自己。或许，只有在极端的情况下，逼不得已的情形下，才有那种紧迫感和不得不拿出来的勇气。很多人终其一生都没有这种遭遇，如果可以说是幸运的话，那确切也是一种幸运。毕竟，不管生活怎么对你，你终究还是找到了自己。 -
