回來後查了,小說叫做Love Of Life,熱愛生命。原來傑克倫敦一直是oakland的居民。於是趁著獨立日放假,來瞻仰一下這位獨特不群的小說家。傑克倫敦是一個不安於舒適的人,一直到死,他都是在到處冒險,為他的寫作提供了大量充滿浪漫主義的冒險色彩。他的名言是
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.

I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
