本套書組合：《美麗新世界》＋《島》共兩冊赫胥黎橫跨三十年的文明辯證一九三二年，赫胥黎以《美麗新世界》冷峻剖析文明異化，預言人類將喪失主體性，自願被囚禁於感官麻醉的假象天堂。三十年後，他在生命盡頭交出《島》，轉向探索內在意識。赫胥黎曾提到，他在《美麗新世界》中探討的是權力如何透過負面手段控制心靈，但他晚年更想扣問的是：「如果一個文明朝良善發展，那該會是什麼樣子？」《島》，就是他的回答。《美麗新世界（全新中譯本）》這是一個快樂是義務、憂鬱是犯罪的完美社會，歡迎光臨！「在下一個世代，我相信全球各地的統治者都會發現：嬰兒制約與麻醉催眠，是比棍棒與監獄更高效的管理手段；讓人們愛上奴役，比鞭打他們使其屈服，更能滿足當權者對權力的渴望。」──阿道斯．赫胥黎◎《時代雜誌》百大最佳英文小說◎「現代圖書館」二十世紀百大英文小說◎ BBC 評選最具影響力的百大小說◎《觀察家報》最偉大的百部小說福特紀元六三二年，人類在試管中被分配階級與命運。世界沒有衰老與匱乏，只有基因篩選與制約教育。在這個世界，政府定期發配蘇瑪藥丸消憂解慮；性愛是娛樂，家庭是異端，思考是罪行。一場意外，讓野蠻人約翰被帶進這座無憂之城，他手握殘破的莎士比亞，發現這個完美世界容不下一絲清醒。當野蠻人開始索求悲傷、失敗與孤獨的權利，也為這個乾淨明亮的世界投入前所未有的混亂。《島（全新中譯本）》所謂正常人，就是能夠達到性高潮並適應社會的人？「如果說《美麗新世界》是赫胥黎對地獄的驚人預演，那麼《島》就是他為人類留下的天堂藍圖；兩者互為鏡像，共同構成了二十世紀最完整的烏托邦辯證。」──《衛報》（The Guardian） 一場海難，將記者威爾拋上禁止外人登陸的帕拉島。他本奉財團之命，企圖掠奪島上資源，卻意外臣服於島民從容的生命姿態。在這裡，人不逃避死亡，不追求無痛的幸福；生活沒有二元對錯，可以自由探索生命的無限可能。文明社會追求的所謂「正常」人生，在這裡只顯得狹隘可疑。威爾慣用的自怨自艾、自嘲自憐，在坦率的島民面前，猶如廉價把戲般無所遁形。他逐漸愛上這座島的善良與平靜，開始追隨島民的生活方式，學習觀看自己、拆解自己。在島民引導下，威爾決定嘗試島上神秘的解脫藥，直視內心潰爛已久的傷。在意識之門開啟之際，境外勢力亦悄然逼近，他終究必須決定──是親手推動這座島走向毀滅，還是與這份脆弱的清醒，一同踏向未知？

「那根棍子是一個啟示，引領巴克來到原始法則的統治下，他僅是對此妥協了而已。至於現實生活則更為嚴酷，但他並無畏懼，反倒被此激發了天性，並以潛藏在天性中的一切狡詐來面對這樣的生活。」 ──《野性的呼喚》激發生存勇氣的動物文學．回應大自然召喚的原始本能！世界上被讀過最多次的美國小說！巴克是一隻溫馴高貴的家犬，卻遭無良園丁拐賣到荒野之地，終日忍受殘酷冷血的高壓訓練，被迫成為淘金客利用的雪橇犬。繼任飼主的無情與極地環境的嚴苛考驗，以及犬群間血腥的階級鬥爭，喚醒了巴克內心深處的原始本性，直到他遇見出手相救的善良人類；溫暖的愛感化了巴克的野性，並讓他誓死效忠救命恩人……然而好景不常，巴克的恩人在一場印地安人的襲擊中喪命，讓巴克認為這世間再也沒有值得留戀的事物了，於是他決定走進森林，因為他知道自己並非孤獨……在漫長的冬夜裡，每當狼群追趕獵物來到低谷，便能看見巴克率領著狼群，在一輪慘白的明月與隱然閃爍的極光下，巴克那龐大的身軀奔躍在所有同伴前方，寬厚的喉嚨唱響了來自遠古世界的歌，那是一首狼群之歌。「狼種的狗一生只接受一個主人，這完全是無條件的；但是，要是他一直不得其主，定主之後又失去了主人，他就會變得像貓似的獨立，就算再跟人住在一起，他也是我行我素。」「狼性較重的狗雖說比較忠心，但服從性較差，牠固然會對主人至死不渝，可絕對不是奴隸。雖然牠活著不能沒有你，可是牠仍過著一種屬於自己的生活。」 ──奧地利動物學家　康拉德・勞倫茲（Konrad Lorenz）「傑克・倫敦這兩部作品專注描寫的都是狼種狗，《白牙》與《野性的呼喚》是各自獨立的作品，但兩者之間存在互文關係，甚至可以視為一個整體，也就是『狼變成狗，狗變成狼』的完整故事。」 ──譯者謝海盟

「白牙並沒有躲開那隻撫摸自己的手，而是繼續任由那隻手從頭一路摸到頸背……那隻撫摸白牙的手，以仁慈打動本已枯萎、幾近腐爛的生命潛力，這種潛力就是愛。」──《白牙》一隻野生混血狼犬的馴化之旅，一段人犬共生的動人故事。最受全球讀者喜愛的動物文學小說，影視界高度青睞的動物題材。白牙是一隻混血狼犬，母親具有一半的狗血統，父親是隻獨眼的老狼；白牙在出生後不久，遇到了第一任飼主，被迫成為雪橇犬，在飼主的棍棒訓練及狗群欺凌下，造就了他孤僻且凶狠的性格。後來，飼主酗酒成性，因貪杯而將他轉賣給第二任飼主，繼任飼主以虐待白牙為樂，同時逼迫他鬥狗，藉以賭錢獲利，白牙也因此變成一隻凶殘嗜血的「鬥狼」。然而，戰無不勝的白牙卻在一次比賽中失利，慘遭對手咬傷且命危，幸虧被第三任飼主救下並細心照料到痊癒。新飼主用仁慈和愛感化白牙，使他變得善良、忠誠，並開始接受文明世界的生活法則……若白牙不曾來到人類的火邊，荒野會將他塑造成一匹真正的狼，但「神」給了他不同的環境，於是他被塑造成一隻狗，雖然是隻有點像狼的狗，但終究是狗而不是狼。「貓和狗都不是人的奴隸，但只有狗是人的朋友──一個聽話而樂於服侍你的朋友。」「狼種的狗，只要牠一旦認了主，就永遠是這個人的狗了，任何人對牠再好再巴結也沒有用，牠頂多對你搖搖牠的粗尾巴而已。」 ──奧地利動物學家　康拉德・勞倫茲（Konrad Lorenz）「傑克・倫敦這兩部作品專注描寫的都是狼種狗，《白牙》與《野性的呼喚》是各自獨立的作品，但兩者之間存在互文關係，甚至可以視為一個整體，也就是『狼變成狗，狗變成狼』的完整故事。」 ──譯者謝海盟
