內容簡介
《荒野的呼喚·白牙(英文版)》和《白牙》是傑克·倫敦卓越的長篇傑作，也是傑克·倫敦的創作中一直頗受讀者鍾愛的兩部。前者描寫出生於富貴人家的大狗巴克被盜賣到北方的阿拉斯加，歷經磨難，最後，留存在巴克身上的原始野性逐漸被喚醒，從而斬斷與人類的糾葛，復歸於荒野。《白牙》仿佛是前者的倒影，描寫一隻有一半狗性的狼白牙落入人的手中，主人用它鬥狗賺錢，白牙在一次次的搏殺中泯滅了最後一絲溫情，對整令人類產生了強烈的仇恨。後來，白牙在搏鬥中幾乎喪命，被新的主人收留，並在這位仁慈的主人的訓練下逐漸克服野性，成為忠實的寵物。
兩部作品雖以動物為題材，但其中卻透露出作者所秉持的“弱肉強食、適者生存”的觀念。早年，傑克·倫敦在加拿大克朗代克一帶的淘金經歷以及所見所聞為他日後的創作提供了豐富的素材，從而也使他的作品深處始終涌動著一股強悍、不屈的生命力。
媒體評論
I would rather be ashes than dust！
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot.
I would rather be a Superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
——Jack London
