Sea Wolf

Humphrey van Weyden is a soft, bookish literary critic - until a shipwreck strands him aboard the Ghost, a sealing schooner commanded by Wolf Larsen, a brutal, brilliant captain who rules through fear, philosophy, and his own bare-knuckled fists. Jack London's The Sea Wolf throws a man of ideas into a world governed only by strength, forcing him to either break or become something harder than he ever imagined. As Larsen's tyranny escalates and a fellow castaway, Maud Brewster, is pulled into the danger, van Weyden must find a will to match the will of the most magnetic villain in American adventure fiction. Equal parts survival thriller and philosophical duel, it's London's most psychologically charged sea story.
