书籍简介

《野性的呼唤》和《白牙》是杰克·伦敦的两部美国经典作品，在这本设计优雅的带护套精装版中，由杰克·伦敦学者Kenneth K. Brandt作了介绍。

《野性的呼唤》，又名《荒野的呼唤》（The Call of the Wild），是美国作家杰克·伦敦创作的中篇小说。

作品讲述巴克原是米勒法官家的一只爱犬，经过了文明的教化，一直生活在美国南部加州一个温暖的山谷里。后被卖到美国北部寒冷偏远、盛产黄金的阿拉斯加，成了一只拉雪橇的狗。该作以一只狗的经历表现文明世界的狗在主人的逼迫下回到野蛮，写的是狗，也反映人的世界。 

该作延续了杰克·伦敦小说的“生存”主题：生命总是在不断挣扎求存的过程中获得意义与力量。

这两个写得很好的故事，现在汇集在一本制作精良的书中，并附有杰克-伦敦的生活和时代的年表，是任何年轻人图书馆的精彩补充。任何喜欢冒险的人，喜欢户外活动或露营的人，或者花时间做白日梦想自给自足生活的人都会被这些冒险故事所吸引。

The Call of the Wild and White Fang, two American classics by Jack London, are presented together in this elegantly designed jacketed hardcover edition featuring an introduction by Jack London scholar Kenneth K. Brandt.

The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906) are two classic American adventure novels depicting the evolution of two dogs in the wild. The novels are in fact mirror images of one another, as Call of the Wild depicts Buck's journey from domestic to wild dog, while White Fang recounts White Fang's transformation from wild beast to domestic companion. Both convey powerful themes of redemption and survival that continue to affect readers even today.

These beautifully written stories, now together in one highly produced volume complete with a timeline of the life and times of Jack London, are a perfect addition to any young adult's library. Anyone with a taste for adventure, who loves the outdoors or camping, or who spends time daydreaming about living self-sufficiently will be enamored by these adventure stories.

作者简介

杰克·伦敦（1876-1916），美国现实主义作家。出生于美国加利福尼亚旧金山的一个破产农民家庭。他从小参加体力劳动，受尽生活折磨。后来，他做过童工、工人和水手，也当过劫取牡蛎的“蚝贼”。1893年由于美国发生严重经济危机，杰克·伦敦以无业游民罪被捕。1897年他到阿拉斯加淘金，结果一粒金子也没淘到却得了坏血病。从此，他开始了文学创作生涯，并于1900年发表统称为“北方故事”的系列小说。他从1900年起连续发表的许多中短篇小说，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。40岁时，他以自杀结束了自己的生命。

他在自己16年的创作生涯中留下了50部著作，其中长篇小说19部。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，是受中国读者欢迎的外国作家之一。代表作有《马丁·伊登》、《野性的呼唤》、《热爱生命》（短篇小说）、《白牙》（又译作《雪虎》）等。

Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist and journalist best known for his novels White Fang, The Call of the Wild, The Sea Wolf, and his semi-autobiographical Martin Eden. London was also an active socialist, and was frequently sought after to deliver lectures on the subject. As a short story author he was also quite successful, having written hundreds of short stories in addition to his fifty fiction and nonfiction novels.
