Abstract
The Call of the Wild is one of Jack London’s most typical and excellent works, which shows the author’s concerns about the destruction of nature and animal abuse. For London believes that both nature and animals not only have intrinsic value, but also rely on each other. Based on the wildness, the behavior of Buck’s return is the symbol of the writer’s arousing for freedom. In the meantime, it is an urgent aspiration for people who are subdued by the social environment of that time. It conveys the author’s thoughts in writing. The essay attempts to comprehend London’s intention embodied in The Call of the Wild, including his criticism on anthropocentrism and the pursuit of the harmony between man and nature. To some extent, The Call of the Wild not only enhances the development of ecological literature at that time, but also draws more attention of the readers to concern for human-nature relationship.
Key words: Wildness, Critique, Anthropocentrism, Transcend
摘要《野性的呼唤》是杰克.伦敦最有代表性和最杰出的作品之一。这部小说反映出作者对破坏自然和虐待动物的忧虑,强调自然与动物的内在价值和人类对它们的依赖。小说以荒野为背景和巴克的回归为视角，对自身自由的渴望追求及对当时时代环境下人们的迫切愿望的追溯。本文试图分析伦敦在野性的呼唤中体现的对于批判人类中心主义和追求人与自然之间的和谐的思想。在一定程度上，野性的呼唤，不仅推进了当时的生态文学的发展，也启发了读者对人与自然的关系更多的思考。
