弗里茨·斯特恩(Fritz Stern),1926年出生于德国(现属波兰)布雷斯劳(弗罗茨瓦夫)，是当代致力于德国史研究的最著名的德裔美国历史学家，先后任教于康奈尔大学和哥伦比亚大学。在德、美两国学界，他都享有极高的学术声誉。斯特恩的研究大多集中在欧洲思想史方面，对纳粹主义的特征，其在德国的兴起，以及极权主义在德国得以发展的根源研究颇深。代表作有：《爱因斯坦的德国世界》《梦想与妄想：德国历史剧》《金与铁：俾斯麦、布莱希罗德与德意志帝国的建立》《非自由主义的失败：现代德国政治文化论文集》《文化绝望的政治：对日耳曼意识形态崛起的研究》等。

西顿（1860-1946）出生在英国，六岁时和一家人一起来到加拿大。他从小就热爱大自然，悉心观察、研究大自然里的飞禽走兽。他是个博物学家、社会活动家和作家，他尤其欣赏印第安人的政治组织机构。他的《我所知道的野生动物》于1898年出版后获得了极大的成功。这本书使他在经济上获得了独立，并使他赢得了美国总统西奥多·罗斯福的友谊。据说英国作家吉卜林的《莽林之书》也是在这本书的启发之下才写成的。 如同传统悲剧描写的都是重要人物的重大事件一样，西顿动物故事的主人公也是“天赋不凡的个体”，因为这种悲剧性的受害者才能引起读者的同情。这种不凡的个体往往是体格出众、才智超群的天生的领袖，是一个代表悲剧命运的最合适的主人公。通观《我所知道的野生动物》，那里有可怜的老英雄、号称喀伦坡之王的老狼洛波，他比其他的狼个头大，智谋多；乌鸦“银斑”是群鸦中最聪明、最强壮、最勇敢的；白...(展开全部)
