Notă biografică

Jack London, one of the most successful American writers, known for his powerful stories drawn mainly from his own experiences. He spent his childhood in poverty and ventured to sea on a sealing ship at the age of seventeen. His experience in the Klondike during the gold rush period inspired London to write The Call of the Wild and White Fang. Both are now considered among his best work. He was a pioneer in the world of commercial fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Published in 1904, and drawing on London's own experience on board a sealing ship, The Sea-Wolf describes the struggle between the civilized and the pagan, between the values of the ruthless sea-captain, Wolf Larsen, and the moral, literary Humphrey Van Weyden.One of his most popular novels, it also reveals London's preoccupation with the Nietzschean idea of the superman, and his interest in the brute underlying social behaviour.
