章节摘录
版权页: 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,thejapanese 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 proteaed 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 rights he lay at the Judge's feet before the roaring Library fire;he camed the Judge's grandsons on his back,or roued 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 temers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored,for he was king-king over all creeping,crawling,flying things ofjudge Miller's place,humans included. His father,Elmo,a huge SL Bernard,had been the Judge's inseparable companion,and Buck bid fair to follow in the way of his father.He was not so large -he weighed only one hundred and forty pounds-for his mother,Shep,had been a Scotch shepherd dog.Nevertheless,one hundred and forty pounds,to which was added the dignity that comes of good living and universal respect,enabled lum to carry himself in right royal fashion.During the four years since his puppyhood he had lived the life of a sated aristocrat;he had a fine pride in himself,was even a trifle egotistical,as country gendemen sometimes become because of their insular situation But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere pampered house dog.Hunting and kindred outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles;and to lum,as to the coldtubbing races,the love of water had been a tonic and a health preserver.

《杰克•伦敦中短篇小说选》所叙述的事情有其深刻的内在的真实性。野性的呼唤不是虚构的。书中所指出的事情都是我们可感觉到的难以形容的东西,作者清晰而考虑周全地表明,它是“在固定的时间里将人类从喧嚣的城市赶进森林和平原去杀生的原始本能”。
