Jack London began his career at sea, and his shipboard experiences imbue \u003ci\u003eThe Sea-Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e with flavorful authenticity.\u003cbr\u003eIn the story, the gentleman narrator, Humphrey Van Weyden, is pitted against an amoral sea captain, Wolf Larsen, in a clash of idealism with materialism. The novel begins when Van Weyden is swept overboard into San Francisco Bay, and plucked from the sea by Larsen's seal-hunting vessel, the \u003ci\u003eGhost\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003eRead and loved around the world, this 1904 maritime classic has influenced such writers as Hemingway, Orwell, and Kerouac.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119951495408,"sku":"9780486115122","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486115122_p0.jpg?v=1763708293","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486115122","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
