The Sea Wolf

A ship lost at sea. A captain ruled by will. A soul tested by chaos.

In The Sea-Wolf, Jack London weaves a compelling psychological drama aboard a sealing schooner. After a shipwreck, literary critic Humphrey Van Weyden is rescued by Wolf Larsen, the brutal and intellectually formidable captain of the Ghost. As their philosophical and physical battles unfold on the open ocean, London explores timeless themes of survival, power, individualism, and morality.

Blending sea adventure with intense character study, this novel is a masterwork of early 20th-century fiction—part existential treatise, part maritime thriller.
