Synopsis "The Sea-Wolf"

"One may see the soul stir in some men's eyes, but his were bleak, and cold, and gray as the sea itself." Humphrey Van Weyden is swept overboard in San Francisco Bay and plucked up by the Ghost. The vessel's captain is the Sea-Wolf, a strong and unmerciful tyrant. Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a shipboard drama mounting in mutiny and shipwreck. Jack London firmly believes in the triumph of good. This classic American tale has influenced writers such as Hemingway and Orwell and is read and loved around the world.

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.
