Book excerpt: The Sea Wolf tells the story of a soft, domesticated protagonist - an intellectual man named Humphrey van Weyden - forced to become tough and self-reliant by exposure to cruelty and brutality. The story starts with him aboard a San Francisco ferry, called Martinez, which collides with another ship in the fog and sinks. He is set adrift in the Bay, eventually being picked up by Wolf Larsen. Larsen is the captain of a seal-hunting schooner, the Ghost. Brutal and cynical, yet also highly intelligent and intellectual (though highly biased in his opinions, as he was self-taught), he rules over his ship and terrorizes the crew with the aid of his exceptionally great physical strength. Van Weyden adequately describes him as an individualist, hedonist, and materialist. Larsen does not believe in the immortality of the soul, he finds no meaning in his life save for survival and pleasure and has come to despise all human life and deny its value. Being interested in someone capable of intellectual disputes, he somewhat takes care of Van Weyden, whom he calls 'Hump', while forcing him to become a cabin boy, do menial work, and learn to fight to protect himself from a brutal crew.A key event in the story is an attempted mutiny against Wolf Larsen by several members of the crew. The organizers of the mutiny are Leach and Johnson. Johnson had previously been beaten severely by Larsen, and Leach had been punched earlier while being forced to become a boat-puller, motivating the two. The first attempt is by sending Larsen overboard; however, he manages to climb back onto the ship. Searching for his assailant, he ventures into the sleeping quarters, located beneath the main deck, the only exit being a ladder. Several, at least seven men, take part in the mutiny and attack Larsen. Larsen however, demonstrating his inhuman endurance, strength, and conviction, manages to fight his way through the crew, climb the ladder with several men hanging off him, and escape relatively unharmed. Van Weyden is promoted as mate, for the original mate had been murdered. Larsen later gets his vengeance by torturing his crew, and constantly claiming that he is going to murder Leach and Johnson at his earliest convenience, being the hunting season is done, as he can't afford to lose any crew. He later allows them to be lost to the sea when they attempt to flee on a hunting boat.During this section, the Ghost picks up another set of castaways, including a poet named Maud Brewster. Miss Brewster and van Weyden had known each other previously-but only as writers. Both Wolf Larsen and van Weyden immediately feel attraction to her, due to her intelligence and "female delicacy". Van Weyden sees her as his first true love. He strives to protect her from the crew, the horrors of the sea, and Wolf Larsen. As this happens, Wolf Larsen meets his brother Death Larsen, a bitter opponent of his. Wolf kidnapped several of Death's crew and forced them into servitude to fill his own ranks, lost previously during a storm. During one of Wolf Larsen's intense headaches, which render him near immobile, van Weyden steals a boat and flees with Miss Brewster.The two eventually land on an uninhabited island, heavily populated with seals. They hunt, build shelter and a fire, and survive for several days, using the strength they gained while on the Ghost. The Ghost eventually crashes on the island, with Wolf Larsen the only crew member. As a revenge, Death Larsen had tracked his brother, bribed his crew, destroyed his sails, and set Larsen adrift at sea. It is purely by chance that van Weyden and Miss Brewster meet Larsen again.

Book excerpt: The Sea-Wolf is a 1904 psychological adventure novel by American novelist Jack London.The book is a murderous tyrant who uses his superhuman strength to torture and destroy, his brilliant mind to invent sick games, and his relentless will to control his mutinous crew. Pressed into service as a cabin boy by the ruthless captain, Van Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a brutal shipboard drama. Larsen's increasingly violent abuse of the crew fuels a mounting tension that ultimately boils into mutiny, shipwreck, and a desperate confrontation.Its first printing of forty thousand copies was immediately sold out before publication on the strength of London's previous The Call of the Wild.

Book excerpt: The author, Jack London, does wonders in this one, The Sea-Wolf. It is, amongst other books, one of the very best, and it even ranks as one of Jack London's top three, those being The Call of the Wild and White Fang. These stories are all endowed with a supreme being, where nature, animal, and human become merged into one entity, one single identity. This is literally the case for The Sea-Wolf. It does, once again, portray the main character, or one of them, as the black sheep, the hybrid, the loose canon in all of the character, but it does so in a different manner. This manner, in which the book is written, does not begin to cherish how Jack London's thoughts are deep. This aforementioned depth is none like the other, for it gives a new sense of identity, where all is integrated, all is one, and none are alike, nonetheless. This book is filled with raw human emotion, as well as animalistic, primal even, one might call it. However, it does not disgust the reader one bit. As a matter of fact, it interacts with them, as if it were another human being interacting with them. They feel engaged with, talked to, and, most importantly, drawn to the book itself, to its ideas. So on and so forth! The plot revolves around an intellectual named Humphrey Van Weyden. This man was brought to self-reliance due to the hardships life doted on him. This cruelty, brutality, and bitterness of life changed him completely. The story begins with a soft undertone with the protagonist. However, that sheltered view of life is soon shattered to pieces as they collide with another ship-where his story started-and everything crumbles down. The Sea-Wolf takes a turn for the psychological, as the protagonist is a queer individual, hedonist, and materialist. He embarks on a journey for the spiritual, racking his mind between two choice-pleasure or a new-found sense of immortality. In addition to the surface meaning provided by the author, there is a rip in the fabric of reality, where appearances deceive the not-so-keen eye, precisely when the author tampers with philosophy, biology, and psychoanalysis!
