杰克·伦敦创作的动物小说具有深刻的现实意义。《野性的呼唤》通过主人公巴克从家犬一步步退化为狼的过程表达了作者眼中矛盾的人与环境的关系;一方面人通过改变征服环境,得以生存发展;而另一方面人又不得不遵循人类社会中残酷的生存竞争法则,为环境所征服。这一矛盾关系是对作者多种哲学思想和甚至自相矛盾的价值观的充分体现。 Animal novels by Jack London have profound practical significance. “The Call of the Wild” expresses the contradictory relationship between the author and the environment through the step-by-step degradation of the protagonist Buck from a domestic dog into a wolf. On the one hand, man can survive and develop by changing the conquest environment; on the other hand, Follow the cruel law of survival and competition in human society and conquer the environment. This contradiction is a manifestation of the author’s multiple philosophical ideas and even self-contradictory values.
