《野性的呼喚》，又名《荒野的呼喚》（The Call of the Wild），美國著名作家傑克·倫敦所著。作品以一隻狗的經歷表現文明世界的狗在主人的逼迫下回到野蠻，寫的是狗，也反映人的世界。欲望本已在，蓬勃脫塵埃：沉沉長眠後，野性重歸來。巴克原是米勒法官家的一隻愛犬，經過了文明的教化，一直生活在美國南部加州一個溫暖的山谷裡。後被賣到美國北部寒冷偏遠、盛產黃金的阿拉斯加，成了一隻拉雪橇的狗。
Into the Primitive"Old longings nomadic leap, Chafing at custom's chain;Again from its brumal sleep Wakens the ferine strain."Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known thattrouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide- water dog,strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to SanDiego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found ayellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies werebooming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.
