'The world is a force, not a poem.'
First published in 1904 and one of Jack London's most famous works, The Sea Wolf is a thrilling psychological adventure novel that has been adapted several times for the big screen.
When Humphrey Van Weyden, a refined gentleman and literary critic, is rescued from a shipwreck, he finds himself trapped aboard the Ghost, a seal-hunting boat captained by the brutal yet brilliant Wolf Larsen. Fiercely astute, ruthless and at times amoral, Larsen forces Van Weyden into arduous labour amongst the violent crew of the ship. An intense battle of wills follows as Van Weyden's idealism is forced to reckon with Larsen's brutal realism. A compelling exploration of identity and conflicting forces, The Sea Wolf blends philosophical insight with adventure in a powerful meditation on what it means to be truly human. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Ian Porter.
Jack London (1846–1916) was an American novelist, journalist, short story writer and activist. Known for innovating the science fiction genre, his works were hugely commercially successful at the time of publication and are still widely read to this day.
