英语原著 野性的呼唤 The Call of the Wild

巴克原是米勒法官家的一只爱犬，经过了文明的教化，一直生活在美国南部加州一个温暖的山谷里。后被卖到美国北部寒冷偏远、盛产黄金的阿拉斯加，成了一只拉雪橇的狗。它目睹了人与人、狗与狗、强者与弱者之间冷酷无情和生死争斗，于是为了生存，它学会了只求活命、不顾道义的处世原则，变得凶悍、机智而狡诈。最后，在森林中狼群的呼唤下，巴克狼性复萌，逃入丛林，重归荒野。在小说中，杰克·伦敦运用拟人手法，把狗眼中的世界及人类的本质刻画地淋漓尽致，反映了资本主义社会冷酷的现实和“优胜劣汰，适者生存”的客观现实。巴克渴望并奔向了自由，这也正是作家的追求和理想的体现。

这就是美国近现代著名的现实主义作家——杰克·伦敦（1876—1916）写的杰出的长篇小说《野性的呼唤》的故事。

杰克·伦敦（1876——1916）美国作家。他一生经历丰富、坎坷，对资本主义社会的黑暗和下层人民生活有深刻的认识，是一位多产而杰出的作家，他的作品揭露性强，又一股不可制服的虎虎生气，而且具有鲜明的民族色彩。《野性的呼唤》是他的第一部畅销书，也是他动物小说中最为出色的名篇之一。这部小说进一步发展了作者在他创作的系列《北方的故事》中所表现出来的激烈、清新、粗犷有力的性格，将充满冒险和野性的淘金生活以及在这种特殊环境中挣扎的狗的世界表现得淋漓尽致。其重要作品有《野性的呼唤》、《白牙》、《海狼》、《马丁·伊登》等。

《呼唤野性》读书笔记

《呼唤野性》这本书是选自《猫武士》的第一本书，这本书的作者是英国的著名作家艾琳·亨特写的一部写猫的动物小说。《猫武士》这套书被誉为“史上最伟大的写猫的动物小说”，被赞“其精彩无法用文字表述”。我向大家推荐这本书主要有以下几个理由：

1.《呼唤野性》这本书用引人入胜的故事代替啰啰唆唆的唠叨，使人越看越爱看；

2.这本书对猫进行了多方面的描写，并且还有很多的好词好句可以借鉴；

3.这本书会给你很多的启示和道理。

接下来，我给大家来介绍这本书的主要内容：

宠物猫拉斯特没有想到，在主人的花园外面，在幽静的森林深处，存在着雷、风、影、河四个由野猫组成的族群。他们秉承武士祖先的遗训，共同统治森林，为了生存而彼此竞争。

更让人想不到的是，这只普通的宠物猫竟成为雷族的学徒，得名火爪（成为武士后，得名火心）。火爪将运用勇气与智慧，克服重重困难，最终被命名为雷族族长：火星。

大家肯定迫不及待想去看这本书了吧。别急别急，接下来给大家展现一些好词好句吧！

好的词语有：火冒三丈、出言不逊、龇牙咧嘴、若有所思、面如土色、絮絮叨叨、迅雷不及掩耳、逃之夭夭、虚张声势、瑟瑟发抖等。

佳句有：1.拉斯特回过头来时，它已如离弦的箭一般奔进一颗大树的树根从里，消失在黑暗中。

2.偷袭者的爪子利如锋芒，紧紧地抓在拉斯特的脊背上，利刃般的牙齿狠狠地咬住他的脖子。

3.一棵棵参天大树遮蔽住晌午的烈日，使得这里凉爽怡人。一缕缕的阳光从枝叶的缝隙间穿进来照亮森林。

„ „

同时，这本书还给了我很多启示：猫们也会懂得孝敬长辈；猫与猫之间的团结友爱；猫对族群的忠诚；猫对猫的宽容大度；猫们坚持正义共御强敌以及猫们的坚强、坚持不懈的品质。这些美德在书里都体现得淋漓尽致，它们都是我们应该学习的榜样。

如果大家找来读一读，那么我要给大家一个提示：由于这本书太过精彩，极易一翻开就无法放下。长时间的不间断阅读，可能导致视力下降，所以请大家控制好阅读时间哦！

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

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.”
