Jack London's Call of the Wild is truly a wonderfully versatile tale. It is the classic man-dog story and a grand adventure epic all rolled into one.

狗是最有灵性的动物，是和人关系最密切的动物，人很多失去的美好东西却在狗的身上找到。《野性的呼唤》既写文明的虚伪，更写人性的阴暗。它以独特的视角和叙述方式，说明了文明背后还是存有那暴戾原始的真实面貌。“适者生存”在大自然残酷原始的生存法则血腥地占满了读者的思绪，本书中写的是狗，解剖的是人的兽性，更巧妙的是在“人的兽性”肆虐时表现出“兽的人性”。

First published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is regarded as Jack London"s masterpiece. Based on London"s experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness and his ideas about nature and the struggle for existence, The Call of the Wild is a tale about unbreakable spirit and the fight for survival in the frozen Alaskan Klondike.
