Synopsis

Torn by a quirk of fate from his life as a dilettante and intellectual, Humphrey van Weydon finds himself at the whim of the ruthless Wolf Larsen. The two men—one youthful, idealistic, and upper-class while the other ruthless, dangerous, self-taught, and self-determined—inevitably become adversaries. As he does in Call of the Wild and White Fang, Jack London dramatizes in this story the violent encounter between safe, genteel comfort and a brutal set of circumstances.

Quotes

“The great thing—and it is among the greatest of things—is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen…The hewing out and setting up of such a figure is enough for a man to do in one lifetime.” Ambrose Bierce

“The Sea-Wolf is a thrilling book, in the old-fashioned sense, and it still manages to convey the underlying ideas that obsessed its author. Veteran actor Stuart Whitman…reads the story brilliantly. His gravelly, manly voice is perfect.” Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
