contextual materials are not only of scholarly significance
themselves but also provide invaluable aids for the first-time
reader of Jack London's novels."--David Holloway, Portland State
University
"A fine, attractive, useful edition."--George F. Day, University of
Northern Iowa
"A fine edition. I was especially impressed with the appendices and
the notes section. Very helpful."--John Guzlowski, Eastern Illinois
University
"Excellent edition--the comments by Sutherland illuminate the
philosophical and personal underpinings of a deceptively complex
work by a deceptively complex writer. Also the Explanatory Notes
are quite good."--Jack Summers, Central Piedmont Community
College
"Thank you."--James R. Hepworth, Lewis-Clark State College

内容简介
在线阅读本书
The Sea Wolf is Jack London’s powerful and gripping saga of
Humphrey Van Weyden, captured by a seal-hunting ship and now an
unwilling sailor under its dreaded captain, Wolf Larsen. The men
who sailed with Larsen were treacherous outcasts, but the captain
himself was the legendary Sea Wolf–a violent brute of a man.
Jack London was a worshipper of the strong and virtuous hero, and a
firm believer in the inevitable triumph of good. The master
storyteller nowhere demonstrates this theme more vividly than in
this classic American tale of peril and adventure, good and
evil.
作者简介
Jack London (1876-1916), by turns a renegade adventurer, a war
correspondent, and an avowed socialist, first achieved fame with
The Son of the Wolf (1900), a collection of short stories
drawn from his experiences in the Klondike gold rush. "The greatest
story Jack London ever wrote was the story he lived," said Alfred
Kazin.
