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.

用户评价

文笔很朴实 Buck挺酷

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。

我真不喜欢这书···
