Synopsis "The Sea Wolf"

The Sea Wolf is an adventure novel with strong psychological character written in 1904 by American author Jack London. His first edition of forty thousand copies. It tells the story of a man named Humphrey van Weyden, forced to become resistant and self-sufficient by exposure to cruelty and brutality. The story begins with him on board a ferry from San Francisco, called Martinez, who collides with another ship in the fog and sinks. He is adrift in the bay, eventually being picked up by Wolf Larsen. Larsen is the captain of a schooner seal hunting, the Holy One. Brutal and cynical, but also very intelligent, who rules over his boat and terrorizes the crew with the help of its exceptionally great physical strength.

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.
