風靡全球，史上最好看的動物小說！生命的強韌、動人，再再感人落淚，讓人心緒澎湃讚賞。流浪奔躍的古老渴望，極力掙脫習慣的鎖鏈；沉睡的記憶不曾遺忘，再次喚起野性的展現。森林的深處響起了一種呼喚……神秘地吸引著巴克，它在巴克心裡鼓動起強烈而莫名的慾望……《野性的呼喚》並非讚揚野性，唾棄文明，作者想要描寫的是生命的那種強韌、動人。從小被馴養的巴克，被丟到荒野中能夠生存嗎？巴克的生命，巴克的奮鬥經歷，再再感人落淚，讓人心緒澎湃讚賞。【最受讀者歡迎的動物小說家──傑克．倫敦】本書收錄傑克．倫敦用文字描述生命熱情的三則著名中短篇傑作：●巴塔（Bâtard，1902）在這篇短篇小說中，巴塔是仇恨的化身，是魔鬼狗。這樣的魔鬼不僅僅是天生的，也是被環境塑造而成的，故事從巴塔與主人強烈的互相仇恨下展開。●野性的呼喚（The Call of the Wild，1903）故事敘述一隻原本被人類飼養在家中，享受平凡優渥環境的狗「巴克」，被拐賣到寒冷嚴酷的北方荒野裡，歷經危難後回到自然的故事。本書不僅十分暢銷，也多次被改編為電影。傑克．倫敦原本是想寫巴塔的續篇，沒想到寫到後來，故事裡的主人公「巴克」有了自己的個性，情節也早就遠遠超出作者預期，成為了史上最好看的動物小說。●熱愛生命（Love of Life，1907）至少這一點無庸置疑――他們嘗遍生命的顛簸；歷經艱辛才有所獲益，儘管已耗盡所有本錢。故事描寫一個淘金者在受傷、遭夥伴拋棄，與飢餓、寒冷、恐怖和死亡奮鬥的故事。生動地展示了人性的偉大和堅強，逼真地描寫出了震撼人心的生命力量！
