Synopsis "The Sea-Wolf"

Wolf Larsen, vicious and brutal despite his great intelligence, captains the seal-hunting schooner, the Ghost, ruling over his crew with a rod of iron. Cast adrift after his ship is in a collision, bookish Humphrey van Weyden is dragged aboard the Ghost and set to work on the ship, where he is exposed to the unrelentingly harsh life as part of Larsen's crew. Mutiny, murder and a beautiful young rescued castaway challenge van Weyden to his limits. Jack London's creation, Wolf Larsen, is acclaimed as one of literature's great antagonists.

View Author's Page
Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
