This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition published by Bernhard Tauchnitz in Leipzig, 1911.

The semiautobiographical Martin Eden is the most vital and original character Jack London ever created. Set in San Francisco, this is the story of Martin Eden, an impoverished seaman who pursues, obsessively and aggressively, dreams of education and literary fame. London, dissatisfied with the rewards of his own success, intended Martin Eden as an attack on individualism and a criticism of ambition; however, much of its status as a classic has been conferred by admirers of its ambitious protagonist. Andrew Sinclair's wide-ranging introduction discusses the conflict between London's support of socialism and his powerful self-will. Sinclair also explores the parallels and divergences between the life of Martin Eden and that of his creator, focusing on London's mental depressions and how they affected his depiction of Eden.

En una de sus novelas más famosas, Jack London narra el choque entre el intelectual Humphrey van Weyden y el brutal capitán Wolf Larsen, conocido como el "Lobo de Mar". Tras el hundimiento de la ferry Martinez, van Weyden es rescatado del océano por el fantasmagórico barco Ghost y su temido capitán. Sin embargo, esta salvación se convierte en una pesadilla: la lucha por la supervivencia a bordo del cazador de focas, las tormentas, las aventuras salvajes y una delicada historia de amor se entrelazan en este cautivador relato de navegación. Jack London, quien conoció la vida de marinero en 1893 durante un viaje en un barco cazador de focas, plasmó sus experiencias en esta obra una década después. Su vida estuvo marcada por la lucha y la búsqueda de su lugar en el mundo, lo que se refleja en la intensidad y profundidad de sus escritos, que han dejado una huella indeleble en la literatura universal.
