Publisher Description

The author of such masterpieces as The Call of the Wild and White Fang, Jack London is one of American literature's most revered writers. In this semi-autobiographical tale, London tells the story of Martin Eden, a young sailor who, through self-education and determination, rises out of poverty to passionately pursue a dream of literary and intellectual achievement. But soon he discovers a life of success is not what he hoped it would be.

"This is a thought-provoking story about a man who enlightens/educates himself and then finds that the ranks he has joined are not what he thought. It is a reminder that knowledge and experiences change us forever; there is no going back to who we were, even yesterday. "

— Tammy (5 out of 5 stars)

    " Beautifully written book that deserved a much better ending. It almost seemed as if the author was in a rush to finish. He wrote this while sailing the South Pacific, so perhaps his voyage was nearing an end or he wasn't feeling too well. "

About Jack London

Jack London (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. Before making a living at his writing, he spent time as an oyster pirate, a sailor, a cannery worker, a gold miner, and a journalist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction writing. He is best known for his novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set during the Klondike gold rush, as well as the short stories “To Build a Fire,” “An Odyssey of the North,” and “Love of Life.”  He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as “The Pearls of Parlay” and “The Heathen.” He was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, including The Iron Heel, The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.
