The Sea-Wolf is Jack London’s gripping psychological and adventure novel that follows Humphrey Van Weyden, a literary critic who finds himself rescued—only to be enslaved—aboard the sealing schooner Ghost. Captained by the ruthless and intellectually formidable Wolf Larsen, Van Weyden is thrust into a brutal world of survival, philosophy, and moral ambiguity. As the two men clash over ideals and instincts, London's novel becomes a rich examination of power, civilization, and the primal nature within us all. A brilliant blend of maritime action and deep character study, The Sea-Wolf stands as one of the most intense sea stories ever written.
