《荒野的呼声》是杰克·伦敦最杰出的一部小说,小说讲述了一只名叫巴克的杂种狗,自小生活在美国南方加州的一名富有的法官家里。巴克在这个家庭里养尊处优,每天的生活就是陪法官家的孩子们玩耍或是使老法官开心。这时的巴克受到了良好的教化,它谦虚而木讷,正如千千万万被文明所驯化了的动物一样,野性是离他们遥远的属性。 The Voice of the Wild is one of Jack London’s best-known novels, a bastard mongrel who lives in a rich judge’s home in southern California, USA. Barker is a pampered, well-to-do, family-owned family who lives and plays with the children of the judge’s house or the old judge. Barker, at this time, was well-educated, humble and stiff, just as millions of animals domesticated by civilization were civilized as distant attributes.
