The Sea Wolf (Illustrated)
This edition includes 10 illustrations. After the great success of his novel The Call of the Wild, Jack London published The Sea-Wolf in 1904. Thought it was a departure from the anthropomorphic style that characterizes his most famous works (including White Fang in 1906), London’s unflinching willingness to explore the brutality of human nature – in the person of Wolf Larson, a sociopathic, manipulative sea captain encountered by the narrator Humphrey van Weyden – is in keeping with his overarching themes of wilderness and survivalism. The character of Wolf Larson is as memorable and as animalistic as any of London’s villains, human or otherwise.
