内容简介

Stolen from his family, a dog named Buck must quickly learn the harsh law of survival among the men and dogs of the goldcrazed North. With an introduction by award-winning author, Avi.

　　《野性的呼唤》是杰克·伦敦的成名作，1903年出版。小说的主人公是一条狗，名叫巴克。整个故事以阿拉斯加淘金热为背景，讲述了在北方险恶的环境下，巴克为了生存，如何从一条驯化的南方狗退化到似狗非狗、似狼非狼的野蛮状态的过程。巴克是一条硕大无比的杂交狗，它被贪心的仆人从南方主人家偷出来卖掉，几经周折后开始踏上淘金的道路，成为一条拉雪橇的苦役犬。在残酷的驯服过程中，它意识到了公正与自然的法则；恶劣的生存环境让它懂得了狡猾与欺诈，后来它自己将生存智慧发挥到了运用自如的地步；经过残酷的、你死我活的斗争．它最后终于确立了领头犬的地位。在艰辛的拉雪橇途中，主人几经调换，巴克与最后一位主人约翰’桑顿结下了难分难舍的深情厚谊。这位主人曾将他从极端繁重的苦役中解救出来，而它又多次营救了它的主人。最后，在它热爱的主人惨遭印第安人射杀后，它便走向了荒野，响应它这一路上多次聆听到的、非常向往的那种野性的呼唤。

精彩书评

Grade 5 Up?These two classics receive fresh and worthy treatment in this new series. Children raised on computer games and frenetic television images may find the writings of Kipling and London to be old-fashioned and unrelated to the worlds they know best. That's why these books are a welcome addition to most collections. Kipling's stories of Mowgli, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and Toomai of the elephants and London's story of the heroic dog Buck are superbly packaged. The original, unabridged texts are presented along with period maps and photographs, historical etchings and engravings, and newly created full-color illustrations that supply invaluable detail and background. Generous and colorfully presented details about the places, times, people, events, and natural life provide vital context. In The Jungle Book, readers learn about the English colonization of India, the domestication of elephants, purported cases of "wild children" raised by wolves, India's thick-lipped bears, panthers, wolves, mongooses, Bengal tigers, and myriad other details that contribute to fuller and more enjoyable appreciation of Mowgli's adventures in the lush jungle landscape of 19th-century India. Similarly, visual and print information about the Klondike, the Alaskan Gold Rush of 1896, sled dogs, wolves, and Jack London enrich the reading experience of young people first encountering The Call of the Wild. Both books are handsome to look at, inviting to read, and a boon to anyone charged with introducing today's youth to classic works.

London's 1903 classic of a kidnapped dog and Yukon gold is revisited here by editor Dyer, who restored the text to its original form sans the editorial alterations that corrupt most of today's available editions. He also includes numerous photographs and maps as well as notes on the text.
