内容简介
《热爱生命》内容简介:《热爱生命》是19世纪末20世纪初美国小说家杰克?伦敦著名的短篇小说,这部小说以雄健、粗犷的笔触,记述了一个悲壮的故事,生动地展示了人性的伟大和坚强。展现出人性深处闪光的东西,生动逼真地描写出了生命的坚韧与顽强,奏响了一曲生命的赞歌,有着撼人心魄的力量。《野性的呼唤》主要讲述一条家狗变成一只野狼的故事。小说的主人公是一条名叫“巴克”的狗,在被拐卖前,它是法官米勒家中一条养尊处优的驯养犬,过着无忧无虑的生活;然而,在被拐卖到严酷的北方之后,它不得不面对一个完全不同的世界。在极其恶劣的现实环境中,它显示出了强烈的生存欲望,并由这种欲望主宰,设法克服一切难以想象的困难,成为一只适应荒野生存规律和竞争规律的雪橇狗,最终还响应荒野的召唤,回归了自然。该小说体现了自然主义创作手法。本文通过从遗传和环境两个角度,揭示了作者自然主义的写作风格,阐述了遗传和环境因素对动物生存的双重影响,及作者对人类社会生存现状的认识。《白牙》一书的背景是加拿大西北边陲的冰封地带。在《白牙》中,杰克?伦敦一反《荒野的呼唤》的故事,叙述了一只幼狼如何从荒野中进入人类的文明世弄。有趣而值得注意的是,杰克?伦敦所塑造的动物英雄,往往比它们所遇见的人们高贵而值得尊敬。

精彩书评
他向来说,他只要短促但快乐的一生。他曾希望自己就像一缕白热的火光,闪过生命的天空,把自己的思想烙印在人类每一个人的头脑上。他曾希望把自己燃烧起来,以便给人以光明。
——(美国传记作家)欧文·斯通
《野性的呼唤》是有史以来伟大的狗的故事,同时也是对人类灵魂深处那奇异而又捉摸不定的动机的探讨。我们越是变得文明,就越是感到恐惧。
——卡尔·桑德堡

精彩书摘
Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tidewater dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost.
Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Judge Miller’s place, it was called. It stood back from the road, half-hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house was approached by graveled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At the rear things were on even a more spacious scale than at the front. There were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vine-clad servants’ cottages, an endless and orderly array of outhouses, long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. Then there was the pumping plant for the artesian well, and the big cement tank where Judge Miler’s boys took their morning plunge and kept cool in the hot afternoon.
And over this great demesne Buck ruled. Here he was born, and here he had lived the four years of his life. It was true, there were other dogs. There could not but be other dogs on so vast a place, but they did not count. They came and went, resided in the populous kennels, or lived obscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of Toots, the Japanese pug, or Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, strange creatures that rarely put nose out of doors or set foot to ground. On the other hand, there were the fox terriers, a score of them at least, who yelped fearful promises at Toots and Ysabel looking out of the windows at them and protected by a legion of housemaids armed with brooms and mops.
But Buck was neither house dog nor kennel dog. The whole realm was his. He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge’s sons; he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge’s daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge’s feet before the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge’s grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their footsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even beyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king—king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller’s place, humans included.
