太巧了，刚在爱洋葱双语阅读网站上看到有这本书，而且是中英文对照的。
巴克是一只壮硕的狗；它的主人米勒先生，住在加州。1897年，人们在北极发现金矿，需要壮狗拉金子到城镇。曼纽尔是米勒先生的员工，他很爱钱。有一天他趁人不注意时，偷偷将巴克牵去卖给一个人，但是巴克并不喜欢那个人，不断地想从那人手中挣脱；最后巴克和其他的狗被送到阿拉斯加运送金子。到阿拉斯加的隔天，巴克就目睹另一只狗克力，因无法适应而被其他狗活活咬死的惨剧。虽然巴克尽量努力的学习拉车，但是它的主人对它一直很不友善；不久它发现狗群中有两只竟然对拉车很起劲；巴克也渐渐学到，在这群野狗之中，生存的要诀和技巧是要有野性。有一天，巴克因另一只狗班长占据它的窝而和它打起来，正当此时，突然间出现一群野狗来征食它们的食物，并且咬伤它们。隔天有一只母狗桃莉，似乎发疯了，它突然攻击巴克，幸好得到它的主人及时解救。天气越来越暖和，它们的拉车旅途也越来越危险，好几次都因冰薄而掉人冰河差一点丧命。为了赚钱，它们必须趁天气好的日子延长工作时间，主人因此为巴克穿上靴子。它们白天像马一般，半夜对着天空枭鸣。
The Call of the Wild is a novella by American author Jack London published in 1903. The story takes place in the extreme conditions of the Yukon during the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, where strong sled dogs were in high demand. After Buck, a domesticated dog, is snatched from a pastoral ranch in California, he is sold into a brutal life as a sled dog. The novella details Buck's struggle to adjust and survive the cruel treatment he receives from humans, other dogs, and nature. He eventually sheds the veneer of civilization altogether and instead relies on primordial instincts and the lessons he has learned to become a respected and feared leader in the wild.
The Call of the Wild is London's most popular work and is considered the masterpiece of his so-called "early period." The novella is often classified as children's literature because of its animal protagonist, but the maturity of its subject matter makes it valuable for older audiences as well. Major themes include survival of the fittest, civilization versus nature, and fate versus free will.
The Yeehat, a group of Canadian aboriginal people portrayed in Call of the Wild, were a figment of London's imagination.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events leads to his serving as a sled dog in the Yukon during the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices.
Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is London's most-read book, and it is generally considered his best, the masterpiece of his so-called "early period". Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence.
London followed the book in 1906 with White Fang, a companion novel with many similar plot elements and themes as Call of the Wild, although following a mirror image plot in which a wild wolf becomes civilized by a mining expert from San Francisco named Weedon Scott.

《野性的呼唤》，又名《荒野的呼唤》（The Call of the Wild），是美国作家杰克·伦敦创作的中篇小说。
作品讲述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。该作以一只狗的经历表现文明世界的狗在主人的逼迫下回到野蛮，写的是狗，也反映人的世界。
该作延续了杰克·伦敦小说的“生存”主题：生命总是在不断挣扎求存的过程中获得意义与力量。
