INFO
Plot
A dog’s adventure in Alaska.
Notes
- 这本书是个合集，里面还有 White Fang 等。我只看了 Call of the wild, 也花了我五六个小时。看英文书还是比较慢。
- 在去阿拉斯加的飞机上读完了，非常应景，甚至提到了Tanana River, 我们住的地方就在河边上
- 看的时候整个就是在把狗狗们带入打工人，感觉非常合适。London 还描绘了各种类型的打工人，还有打工人和雇主（狗和人）的关系。
- 还是要有生活经验才能写出好看的作品，各种细节栩栩如生让人信服
- 听了高晓松的节目说作者后来有种族主义和纳粹主义的争议。我觉得在这部小说里没看出来。

Bitter rage was his, but never blind rage.

when he floundered past the sleds to his own, where he stood alongside Sol-leks.

But they could hear him mournfully howling till they passed out of sight behind a belt of river timber.

They were simply so many bags of bones in which sparks of life fluttered faintly.

he had made up his mind not to get up. He had a vague feeling of impending doom.
