Puffin Classics: The Call of the Wild

內容簡介

內容簡介 對一隻狗Buck來說，在Santa Clara Valley的生活可以說是相當愜意，每天曬著暖洋洋的太陽，並且每天只要等著睡覺與吃飯就可以了。不過後來的命運就沒有那麼順利，Buck被賣到了美國偏遠的北方阿拉斯加，成為了一隻拉雪橇的狗，牠必須開始面對生活上的嚴苛與求生，最後牠因為荒野的召喚而逃入了森林，重回了荒野的懷抱。這本Jack London所寫的經典小說，以動物眼中冷酷的世界來反諷人類所處社會的現實與難處，書中Buck所渴望的自由就像Jack London想要的自由烏托邦一樣。這本《The Call of the Wild》是Jack London的第一本暢銷小說，也被收錄在"Puffin Classics"2008出版十二本經典兒童文學閱讀的其中一本，該書並且邀請到作家Melvin Burgess擔任導讀與解說。

作者介紹

作者介紹 Jack London (1876-1916) was born John Chaney in Pennsylvania, USA and despite a lack of education in his childhood, and a variety of odd jobs, he always maintained his love of books. In 1896 he was caught up in the gold rush to the Klondike river in north-west Canada which became the inspiration for his story, The Call of the Wild, published in 1903, and followed by White Fang in 1906. Jack London became one of the most widely read writers in the world.
