    About this ebook

    Abduction at sea, a domineering captain, a mutinous crew, and a daring escape make Jack London’s The Sea Wolf thrilling seafaring literature.  In the novel, Humphrey Van Weyden, the cultured but frail literary critic, is kidnapped and pressed into service aboard the seal-hunting schooner Ghost.  At the helm is Wolf Larsen, a brutal, overpowering leader whose ferocity compels obedience. 

     

    London’s gripping narrative simultaneously entertains and forces analysis of the complex interaction between individuals under stress.  Through the combination of philosophical inquiry and high-tension adventure, The Sea Wolf provides a valuable link to an earlier time in American history, and offers a way to reflect on the nature of individualism that is strikingly resonant today.

    Jack London

    Jack London (1876-1916) was not only one of the highestpaid and most popular novelists and short-story writers of his day, he was strikingly handsome, full of laughter, and eager for adventure on land or sea. His stories of high adventure and firsthand experiences at sea, in Alaska, and in the fields and factories of California still appeal to millions of people around the world.
