野性的呼喚 白狼（英文版）

《野性的呼喚》是由20世紀初美國著名小說家杰克·倫敦所著，并于1903年發表。全書以19世紀淘金熱為大背景，當時，強壯的拉雪橇的狗成為搶手貨。小說主人公是一條名叫巴克的狗，本來它是家養的，但被人偷走，變賣到生存環境十分惡劣的阿拉斯加，去拉雪橇。巴克不得不強迫自己適應環境，與其他的狗打架爭奪地位，最終生存下來，并成為動物群中的首領。該書出版后，即給杰克倫敦贏得巨大聲譽。早在1908年，該書就被改編成電影，此后，又多次被拍攝成電影。小說《白狼》于1906年出版發行，大背景也是19世紀的淘金熱潮，也是從狗的角度，來看待人類的小說，可以說是《野性的呼喚》的姊妹篇，小說在人性、道德與救贖方面都有很深刻的探索。該小說多次被排成電影，最后一次是1991年，被好萊塢排成電影，受到觀眾們的歡迎。本版本是美國人最認可的哥登堡權威本。

人鼠之間（Of Mice and Men）

《人鼠之間》講述了二十世紀30年代美國經濟大蕭條時期，兩個一貧如洗卻又相依為命的美國流動農業工人佐治和李奈從懷揣夢想、追逐夢想、接近夢想到夢想破滅的悲慘故事，藝術地展現了田園牧歌式的農莊生活和殘酷的社會現實的沖突，反映了人對生存條件的真切感受。
