A bold mix of realism, allegory, adventure, and progressive politics, this collection features Jack London’s most profound and moving literary works
 
The Call of the Wild, London’s elemental masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, sees pampered pet Buck snatched from his home and set to work as a sled-dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. White Fang, set in the frozen tundra and boreal forests of Canada’s Yukon territory, is the story of a wolf-dog hybrid struggling to survive in a human society every bit as brutal as the natural world. This volume of London’s famed Northland novels also includes an early feminist story “The Night-Born,” and a pro-labor story “South of the Slot.” These works echo and enrich the themes of The Call of the Wild and White Fang with their unique emphases on the primordial, the instinctual, and the quest for social justice. London’s narratives in this volume focus on issues of continuing relevance to contemporary readers, including the value of the wilderness, animal rights, socioeconomic oppression, and gender inequity. This edition also includes an introduction by preeminent London scholar, Earle Labor, as well as a comprehensive biographical note on London's life and works by scholar and executive coordinator of the Jack London Society, Kenneth K. Brandt.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
意外的長假，有書林小店員的小說推薦書單與你相伴。

推薦書系1：先嚇嚇自己就什麼都不怕了
推薦書單：“The Plaque”, “Love in Time of Cholera”, “We Have Always Live in a Castle”

俗話說要對抗星期一憂鬱就是在星期天晚上看鬼片(沒有這種俗話)，當恐懼不斷向我們襲來，就算在恐怖的魔鬼我們也會逐漸習慣，要戰勝恐懼就是先了解恐懼，對抗瘟疫就要看卡繆和馬奎斯，也可以看看恐怖女王雪莉傑克森的名作，讓你毛骨悚然後不再害怕，反而更有勇氣面對現實。

推薦書系2：這個世界一定不只有我這麼苦
推薦書單：“Grand Union”,“The Paper Menagerie”,“The O. Henry Prize Stories 100th Anniversary Edition”

沒有比較沒有傷害，但有時比較也讓我們想起自己原有的富足，短篇小說集讓我們有機會一瞥他人的內心生活與困頓，在一個個不同的故事裡，穿越時間，甚至超越現實，對於苦痛和煩惱也終於能逐漸包容接納。

推薦書系3：從電影裡找回生命的力量
推薦書單：“The Garden of Evening Mists”, “The Evening”, “The Call of the Wild”

電影不只是一段充滿聲光效果的移動圖像，電影寫下故事又創造夢想，也刻畫現實的離散與悲歡，從小說改編而成的成功電影不計其數，無論是愛情故事、時代悲劇或與大自然共存，我們在電影裡永遠能找到感動，並再次挖掘生命本身，源源不絕的力量。

病毒並不可怕，可怕的是被病毒打倒前已然潰散的心，而閱讀則是最好的強心劑，每翻一頁，越發堅強。
