杰克·伦敦(Jack London,1876—1916),原名约翰·格利菲斯·伦敦(John Griffith London),美国著名作家,他在现代美国文学和世界文学界享有崇高的地位。杰克·伦敦生于旧金山,是个私生子,后来他的母亲改嫁给境况不佳的约翰·伦敦。杰克·伦敦的童年是在穷苦中度过的,他当过牧童、报童、童工、工人、水手。他还参加过1893年大恐慌中失业大军组成的抗议队伍,以流浪罪被捕入狱,被罚做苦工几个月。出狱后,他一边拼命干活,一边刻苦学习,广泛涉猎达尔文、斯宾塞、尼采和马克思等人的著作。1896年,他考进加利福尼亚大学,一年后辍学。后来受到阿拉斯加淘金热的影响,加入了淘金者的行列,却因病空手而归。在经历各种失败和挫折之后,杰克·伦敦萌发了写作的愿望。1899年,他发表了第一篇小说《给猎人》;1900年,在他出版短篇小说集《狼之子》后,立即饮誉文坛,并获得了丰厚的收入。从此,他埋头读书写作,成为职业作家。他是个多产的作家,一生共写了19部长篇小说、150多篇短篇小说以及3部剧本等。除《狼之子》之外,著名的作品还有:描写反抗压迫、回归自由与自然的《野性的呼唤》(1903),描写伦敦贫民生活的特写集《深渊中的人们》(1903),描写兽性般残忍和利己主义的长篇小说《海狼》(1904),描写充满野性的幼狼如何从荒野中进入文明世界的《白牙》(1906),政治幻想小说《铁蹄》(1908),自传体长篇小说《马丁·伊登》(1909)等。1916年杰克·伦敦在精神极度苦闷、空虚中自杀身亡。在杰克·伦敦的众多作品中,《海狼》是其中的典型代表,是公认的世界文学名著。该书自出版以来,已被译成世界上几十种语言,且多次被改编成电影。

I wondered what this man could have got from such a work. Spencer Iremembered enough to know that altruism was imperative to his ideal ofhighest conduct. Wolf Larsen, evidently, had sifted the great philosopher'steachings, rejecting and selecting according to his needs and desires."What else did you run across?" I asked.His brows drew in slightly with the mental effort of suitably phrasingthoughts which he had never before put into speech. I felt an elation of spirit. Iwas groping into his soul-stulf as he made a practice of groping in thesoul-stuff of others. I was exploring virgin territory. A strange, a terriblystrange, region was unrolling itself before my eyes."In as few words as possible," he began, "Spencer puts it something likethis: First, a man must act for his own benefit to do this is to be moral andgood. Next, he must act for the benefit of his children. And third, he must actfor the benefit of his race.""And the highest, finest, right conduct," I interjected, "is that act whichbenefits at the same time the man, his children, and his race.""I wouldn't stand for that," he replied. "Couldn't see the necessity for it,nor the common sense. I cut out the race and the children. I would sacrificenothing for them. It's just so much slush and sentiment, and you must see ityourself, at least for one who does not believe in eternal life. With immortalitybefore me, altruism would be a paying business proposition. I might elevate mysoul to all kinds of altitudes. But with nothing eternal before me but death,given for a brief spell this yeasty crawling and squirming which is called life,why, it would be immoral for me to perform any act that was a sacrifice. Anysacrifice that makes me lose one crawl or squirm is foolish, and not onlyfoolish, for it is a wrong against myself and a wicked thing. I must not lose onecrawl or squirm if I am to get the most out of the ferment. Nor will the eternalmovelessness that is coming to me be made easier or harder by the sacrifices orselfishnesses of the time when I was yeasty and acrawl."
