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)
