In the late 1970s, when "Where the Wild Things Are" was only 15 years old (it is turning 50 soon), it was already, indisputably, a classic.
在70年代末，也就是《野獸出沒的地方》出版15年的時候，這本書已經(jīng)毫無疑問的成為了一本經(jīng)典之作。

But not just a classic of children's books. It was a seminal book about childhood, and a journal of the life of an artist, and a clarion call for the satisfaction of those twin and opposite needs: independence and society.
它不只是兒童文學的經(jīng)典之作。它是關(guān)于童年的一本開創(chuàng)性書籍，是一位藝術(shù)家生活的記錄，是對兩個相連有對立面：個體與社會的宣稱。

He showed how the inner world of even the most frail is inhabited by wild things.

he cherished the letters that individual children sent him unbidden, which burst with the sparks that his work had ignited.

“Dear Mr. Sendak,” read one, from an 8-year-old boy. “How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive, my sister and I would like to spend the summer there.”
