The Call of the Wild

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...  

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

we are so far away from the forest,true love and freedom.

I think I am stuck in civilization. Too far away from the earth to hear the call of the wild.

晚上读超有feel

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。

我高一的时候读的。
