Jack London: The Sea-Wolf (English Edition): A Classic Novel of Survival at Sea

Jack London's The Sea-Wolf is a powerful tale of danger, endurance, and transformation on the open sea. After a shipwreck in the San Francisco Bay, the refined literary critic Humphrey Van Weyden is pulled from the sea by the sealing schooner Ghost - and into the power of its ruthless captain, Wolf Larsen. Brilliant, brutal, and terrifyingly self-assured, Larsen rules his ship through fear, turning the voyage into a relentless struggle for survival, strength, and self-mastery. As Van Weyden is forced to abandon the comforts of civilized life, he must confront violence, hardship, and the dark philosophy of a man who believes only in power. Part adventure novel, part psychological duel, The Sea-Wolf is one of Jack London's most gripping works: a fierce and unforgettable tale of the sea, of human endurance, and of the battle between brutality and conscience. This is the English-language hardcover edition of the novel. Jack London. The Sea-Wolf. First published by Macmillan, New York, in 1904. Vollständige Neuausgabe, 1. Auflage, Göttingen 2026.
