Description

Introducing the book The SeaWolf by Jack London

In The Wolf of the Sea, Jack London’s main concern is exposing the oppression and unfair exploitation of human beings. Jack Andon’s works, including The Wolf of the Sea, sometimes take on a strong naturalistic tone and are often very detailed social analyzes. “The powerful eat the incapable to maintain their strength,” he says in the work. “The happy ones swallow first and move the most.”

Sea Wolf is a novel by Jack London, an American author, published in 1904 and quickly gained readership.

In this novel, Jack London tells the story of an intellectual named Humphrey Van Wieden, who is captured by a group of violent sailors, led by a man named Wolf Larsen, who is taken by ship to distant seas. Wolf Larsen is an immoral and violent man who has great physical strength and at the same time (like Jack London himself) is self-taught and has read many books. The story takes a different turn with the arrival of a woman named Mad Brewster, who is a famous poet, and Humphrey, who falls in love with the Medes in the remote islands, succeeds Wolf with her.
