En esta obra, publicada en 1909, el autor mostro el retrato de un rudo marinero que quiere progresar, pero al tratar de dedicarse a escritor se encuentra con el fracaso continuo y el rechazo permanente, incluso de la mujer que ama. Pero al cambiar su suerte, y ser aceptadas sus obras, todos quieren congraciarse con el pero Martin Eden se ha cansado del mundo.
Martin Eden, Jack London's semi-autobiographical novel about a struggling young writer, is considered by many to be the author's most mature work. Personifying London's own dreams of education and literary fame as a young man in San Francisco, Martin Eden's impassioned but ultimately ineffective battle to overcome his bleak circumstances makes him one of the most memorable and poignant characters Jack London ever created.

"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)

" amazingly enjoyable reading. John Barleycorn is a great piece(especially if you ever do any drinking). If you have only ever read Call of the Wild, this is some enlightening stuff. "
" I appreciate Jack London's quest for social reform but find it hard not to speed read through these long drawn out stories. His rightful claim to fame, I think, are his novels of wildlife, and living in the wild. "
" One of the best books ever! Marten is a Man! "
" I love, love, loved this book! "
" The best book i've ever read! "
" no other way, but your own...sometimes "
" If someone asks me what my favourite book is, Martin Eden is the answer as usual. "
" Semi-autobiographical, very affecting book for me. "
" Non doveva impelagarsi con la politica, già la filosofia è stata un bell'azzardo; una volta salito in cima alle vette della letteratura e della poesia la sua formazione era perfetta e sarebbe rimasta pura e incontaminata. Ma che uomo, Martin Eden! "
" Ma cosa ho letto fino a ora? "
" This must be one of the most mesmerizing and motivating stories ever written. I loved the writing, the characters, the contagious dream and the ambitious relentlessness of achieving it. I recommend this book to anyone who is in search of a purpose! "
" One of my all time favorites.Read it.The story of a man. The story of becoming a man. "
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.
