英語原著 野性的呼喚 The Call of the Wild

巴克原是米勒法官家的一只愛犬，經過了文明的教化，一直生活在美國南部加州一個溫暖的山谷里。后被賣到美國北部寒冷偏遠、盛產黃金的阿拉斯加，成了一只拉雪橇的狗。它目睹了人與人、狗與狗、強者與弱者之間冷酷無情和生死爭斗，于是為了生存，它學會了只求活命、不顧道義的處世原則，變得兇悍、機智而狡詐。最后，在森林中狼群的呼喚下，巴克狼性復萌，逃入叢林，重歸荒野。在小說中，杰克·倫敦運用擬人手法，把狗眼中的世界及人類的本質刻畫地淋漓盡致，反映了資本主義社會冷酷的現實和“優勝劣汰，適者生存”的客觀現實。巴克渴望并奔向了自由，這也正是作家的追求和理想的體現。

這就是美國近現代著名的現實主義作家——杰克·倫敦（1876—1916）寫的杰出的長篇小說《野性的呼喚》的故事。

杰克·倫敦（1876——1916）美國作家。他一生經歷豐富、坎坷，對資本主義社會的黑暗和下層人民生活有深刻的認識，是一位多產而杰出的作家，他的作品揭露性強，又一股不可制服的虎虎生氣，而且具有鮮明的民族色彩。《野性的呼喚》是他的第一部暢銷書，也是他動物小說中最為出色的名篇之一。這部小說進一步發展了作者在他創作的系列《北方的故事》中所表現出來的激烈、清新、粗獷有力的性格，將充滿冒險和野性的淘金生活以及在這種特殊環境中掙扎的狗的世界表現得淋漓盡致。其重要作品有《野性的呼喚》、《白牙》、《海狼》、《馬丁·伊登》等。

《呼喚野性》讀書筆記

《呼喚野性》這本書是選自《貓武士》的第一本書，這本書的作者是英國的著名作家艾琳·亨特寫的一部寫貓的動物小說。《貓武士》這套書被譽為“史上最偉大的寫貓的動物小說”，被贊“其精彩無法用文字表述”。我向大家推薦這本書主要有以下幾個理由：

1.《呼喚野性》這本書用引人入勝的故事代替啰啰唆唆的嘮叨，使人越看越愛看；

2.這本書對貓進行了多方面的描寫，并且還有很多的好詞好句可以借鑒；

3.這本書會給你很多的啟示和道理。

接下來，我給大家來介紹這本書的主要內容：

寵物貓拉斯特沒有想到，在主人的花園外面，在幽靜的森林深處，存在著雷、風、影、河四個由野貓組成的族群。他們秉承武士祖先的遺訓，共同統治森林，為了生存而彼此競爭。

更讓人想不到的是，這只普通的寵物貓竟成為雷族的學徒，得名火爪（成為武士后，得名火心）。火爪將運用勇氣與智慧，克服重重困難，最終被命名為雷族族長：火星。

大家肯定迫不及待想去看這本書了吧。別急別急，接下來給大家展現一些好詞好句吧！

好的詞語有：火冒三丈、出言不遜、齜牙咧嘴、若有所思、面如土色、絮絮叨叨、迅雷不及掩耳、逃之夭夭、虛張聲勢、瑟瑟發抖等。

佳句有：1.拉斯特回過頭來時，它已如離弦的箭一般奔進一顆大樹的樹根從里，消失在黑暗中。

2.偷襲者的爪子利如鋒芒，緊緊地抓在拉斯特的脊背上，利刃般的牙齒狠狠地咬住他的脖子。

3.一棵棵參天大樹遮蔽住晌午的烈日，使得這里涼爽怡人。一縷縷的陽光從枝葉的縫隙間穿進來照亮森林。

? ?

同時，這本書還給了我很多啟示：貓們也會懂得孝敬長輩；貓與貓之間的團結友愛；貓對族群的忠誠；貓對貓的寬容大度；貓們堅持正義共御強敵以及貓們的堅強、堅持不懈的品質。這些美德在書里都體現得淋漓盡致，它們都是我們應該學習的榜樣。

如果大家找來讀一讀，那么我要給大家一個提示：由于這本書太過精彩，極易一翻開就無法放下。長時間的不間斷閱讀，可能導致視力下降，所以請大家控制好閱讀時間哦！

The Call of the Wild

I About Jack London

Jack London(born Jan.12, 1876, died Nov.22, 1916)was born in San Francisco and became the most successful writer in America in the early 20th century.He was deserted by his father, “Professor” William Henry Chaney, an itinerant astrologer and raised in Oakland by his mother Flora Wellman, a music teacher and spiritualist.His stepfather John London, whose surname he took, was a failed storekeeper.London's youth was marked by poverty.He is an illegitimate child, he passed his childhood in poverty in the Oakland slums.At the age of 17, he ventured to sea on a sealing ship.The turning point of his life was a thirty-day imprisonment that was so degrading it made him decide to turn to education and pursue a career in writing.He is best known for his books and a few short stories.He experimented with many literary forms, from conventional love stories and dystopias to science fantasy.His noted journalism included war correspondence, boxing stories, and the life of Molokai lepers.A committed socialist, he insisted against editorial pressures to write political essays and insert social criticism in his fiction.He was among the most influential figures of his day, who understood how to create a public person and use the media to market his self-created image of poor-boy-turned-success.London's great passion was agriculture, and he was well on the way of creating a new model for ranching through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40.He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world.II about the call of the wild

In this

This story describe a dog Buck, who leads a comfortable life in a California ranch home with his owner, a judge, until he is stolen and sold to pay off a gambling debt.Buck is taken to Alaska and sold to a pair of French Canadians who were impressed with his physique.They train him as a sled dog, and he quickly learns how to survive the cold winter nights and the pack society by observing his teammates.Buck is later sold again and passes hands several times, all the while improving his abilities as a sled dog and pack leader.Eventually, Buck is sold to a man named Hal, his wife, and her brother who know nothing about sledding nor surviving in the Alaskan wilderness.They struggle to control the sled and ignore warnings not to travel during the spring melt.As they journey on, they run into John Thornton, an experienced outdoors man, who notices that all of the sled dogs are in terrible shape from the ill treatment of their handlers.Thornton warns the trio against crossing the river, but they refuse to listen and order Buck to mush.Exhausted, starving, and sensing the danger ahead, Buck refuses.Recognizing him as a remarkable dog and disgusted by the driver's beating of the dog, Thornton cuts him free from his traces and tells the trio he's keeping him.After some argument, the trio leaves and tries to cross the river, but as Thornton warned the ice gives way and they drown.As Thornton nurses Buck back to health, Buck comes to love him and grows devoted to him.Thornton takes him on trips to pan for gold.During one such trip, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion.Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself.Thornton and his friends return to their camp and continue their search for gold, while Buck begins exploring the wilderness around them and begins socializing with a local wolf pack.One morning, he returns from a three-day long hunt to find his beloved master and the others in the camp have been killed by some Native Americans.Buck finds some of them in the camp and kills them to avenge Thornton, later finding other members of the tribe, then returns to the woods to become alpha wolf of the pack.Each year he revisits the site where Thornton died, never completely forgetting the master he loved.III about characteristics of Buck

The protagonist of our story, Buck is part St.Bernard, part Scotch shepherd.Buck's characteristic was changing throughout his way of returning wild.At the beginning of the story, Buck is a domesticated, but atypical dog who lives in the home of Judge Miller in California.He was gentle and sluggish before he had been sold.After being kidnapped and taken to Alaska to become a sled-dog, Buck's wild nature is reawakened, he learned to become cunning, crafty and resolute.He fell in love with John Thorton who saved his life several times.However, a sort of violent desire which was attracted by the wild urged him to return to deep forests more and more frequently and he slowly returns to the ways of his ancestors.III My Opinions on the call of the wild

The dogs in the book are all loyal to their masters.For example, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion.Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself.In addition, all dogs have sense of honor.They are all proud of being sled dogs, and devote themselves to the work.For example, Dave, who is going to die, still insists on working.“Sick as he was, Dave resented being taken out, grunting and growling

while the traces were unfastened and whimpering when he saw Sol-leks(another dog)in the position he had held and served so long.For the pride of trace and trail was his, and, sick to death, he could not bear that another dog should do his work.”

Both loyalty and honor are based on love which is what touches me deeply.Because of love to Thornton, Buck does such thing that seems impossible to accomplish.Because of sense of honor, Dave insists on working till he dies.As we know, Buck answers the call of and returns to the wild finally.In my opinion, the call is not from the wild though Buck often hears the howl of the wolves.Instead, it is from the bottom of Buck’s heart.The call is the will or the instinct which makes him want to be himself: A wolf.I think every one of us has a call in our hearts.The call is our dream, goal or something we really want to do.However, under the pressure of society, we often have to give up our dreams or goals, and do things we are unwilling to do.So we should learn something from Buck: Just follow the call, and be yourself!

The Call of The Wild

I About Jack London

Jack London(born Jan.12, 1876, died Nov.22, 1916), whose life symbolized the power of will, was the most successful writer in America in the early 20th Century.His vigorous stories of men and animals against the environment, and survival against hardships were drawn mainly from his own experience.An illegitimate child, London passed his childhood in poverty in the Oakland slums.At the age of 17, he ventured to sea on a sealing ship.The turning point of his life was a thirty-day imprisonment that was so degrading it made him decide to turn to education and pursue a career in writing.And his experiences of searching for gold in the Klondike left their mark in his stories.His work embraced the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism in its exploration of the laws of nature.II Plot

Loyalty, Honor and Love
