推荐两部关于狼的小说

【著作】《野性的呼唤》

【作者】[美] 杰克·伦敦（1876-1916）

【主题】生存、天性、忠诚

【梗概】
        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。经历了无数磨难后，他不愿意屈服于自己的命运，最后回归荒野，成为狼群首领的英勇、仁爱的狗。

【摘录】
        1、生命的极致在于生命的狂喜。

        2、原始生活中不存在同情，否则，会被视为软弱，这会让你丧命。

【推荐语】
        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。杰克·伦敦运用拟人手法，把狗眼中的世界及人类的本质刻画地淋漓尽致，反映了“优胜劣汰,适者生存”的客观现实。巴克渴望并奔向了自由，这也正是作家的追求和理想的体现。

Title: The Call of the Wild

Author: [USA] Jack London (1876-1916)

Theme: survival, nature, loyalty

Plot Summary:

        The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild.

Quotes:

        1. 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 gentlemen sometimes become because of their insular situation.

        2. He was beaten (he knew that); but he was not broken. He saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. He had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. That club was a revelation. It was his introduction to the reign of primitive law, and he met the introduction halfway. The facts of life took on a fiercer aspect and, while he faced that aspect uncowed, he faced it with all the latent cunning of his nature aroused.

Recommendation:

        I defy anyone - man, woman or child - not to like The Call of the Wild. It's the most exciting adventure, the most moving love story, the deepest meditation on a creature and its place in nature. If you aren't cheering for Buck the dog by the end of this you're either hard-hearted or a cat-lover.

【著作】《狼图腾》

【作者】[中] 姜戎（1946-）

【主题】自然、人性、狼性

【梗概】
       《狼图腾》是一部以狼为叙述主体的小说。讲述了上个世纪六七十年代一位知青在内蒙古草原插队时与草原狼、游牧民族相依相存的故事。作家姜戎以史诗般的叙述手法和深邃的人文胸怀吟唱了一曲游牧文明和草原生态的挽歌。

【摘录】
        1、所有人的祖先都是猎人，猎人是人类在这世界上扮演的第一个角色，也是扮演时间最长的一个角色。

        2、狼之所以个个顽强，不屈不挠，不是因为狼群里没有“汉奸”和软蛋，而是因为残酷的草原环境，早把所有的孬种彻底淘汰了。

【推荐语】
       人类社会的精神和性格日渐颓靡雌化的今天，读到《狼图腾》这样一部以狼为叙事主体的小说，实在是当代读者的幸运。千百年来，占据正统主导地位的鸿学巨儒，畏狼如虎、憎狼为灾，汉文化中存在着太多对狼的误解与偏见，更遑论为狼写一部书，与狼为伍探微求真了。
