內容簡介

John Griffith “Jack” London (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories “To Build a Fire”, “An Odyssey of the North”, and “Love of Life” . He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as “The Pearls of Parlay ” and “The Heathen ”, and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf . Often troubled by physical ailments, during his thirties London developed kidney disease of unknown origin. He died of renal failure on November 22, 1916 on the ranch. 傑克•倫敦，美國著名的現實主義作家。他在一個既無固定職業又無固定居所的家庭中長大。24歲開始寫作，去世時年僅40歲。從1900年起，傑克•倫敦連續發表和出版了許多小說，講述美國下層人民的生活故事，揭露資本主義社會的罪惡。他的作品大都帶有濃厚的社會主義和個人主義色彩。他的作品在全世界都廣爲流傳，是最受中國讀者歡迎的外國作家之一。傑克•倫敦一生著述頗豐，16年中留下了19部長篇小說、150多篇短篇小說以及大量文學報告集，還寫了3個劇本以及相當多的隨筆和論文。最著名的有《馬丁•伊登》、《野性的呼喚》、《白牙》、《熱愛生命》等小說。 本書爲英文原版，收錄了傑克•倫敦36篇經典短篇小說，同時提供配套英文朗讀免費下載（下載地址見封底），以便讀者在欣賞原汁原味作品的同時，也能提升英語閱讀水平。
