Martin Eden
London, Jack
Synopsis "Martin Eden"
First published in 1909, "Martin Eden" is a novel by American writer Jack London. The story revolves around a young lower-class autodidact named Martin Eden and her struggle to become a writer in the face of great adversity. John Griffith London (1876 - 1916), commonly known as Jack London, was an American journalist, social activist, and novelist. He was an early pioneer of commercial magazine fiction, becoming one of the first globally-famous celebrity writers who were able to earn a large amount of money from their writing. Other notable works by this author include: "The Cruise of the Dazzler" (1902), "The Kempton-Wace Letters" (1903), and "The Call of the Wild" (1903). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
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.
