Description
The Sea-Wolf and Selected Stories by Jack London is a gripping tale of survival and rebellion at sea. On board the seal-hunting vessel Ghost, Humphrey Van Weyden finds himself caught up in a tense shipboard drama with its enigmatic captain, Wolf Larsen. As the story unfolds, mutiny, shipwreck, and a desperate confrontation threaten to destroy the fragile balance on board. But London's vivid descriptions of life at sea also bring to life other tales of adventure and action, including "The Law of Life," "The One Thousand Dozen," "All Gold Canyon," and "Moon-Face." These stories showcase London's unique ability to capture the essence of the wild, from the northern dogs and tundra landscapes he experienced firsthand.
