Description

Literary critic Humphrey Van Weyden is pulled aboard the seal schooner Ghost and must survive under ruthless captain Wolf Larsen. London's battle of muscle and mind on a hard sea. Spoken as when rescue from drowning drops you into a worse kind of captivity.

Author

Jack London (1876–1916) wrote as if survival itself were a form of literature. Born in San Francisco, he worked as a sailor, oyster pirate, and Klondike prospector before becoming one of America's first celebrity novelists — a man who earned a fortune from magazines and never stopped arguing about class, nature, and power. The Call of the Wild and White Fang made the wilderness think: dogs with inner lives, men reduced to hunger and will.
