"The Sea-Wolf" is a psychological adventure novel written by Jack London in
1904. The story follows Humphrey Van Weyden, a literary critic who survives an
ocean collision and is rescued by the powerful and amoral sea captain, Wolf
Larsen. The book sold out before publication due to the success of London's
previous work, "The Call of the Wild." The character of Wolf Larsen was based
on a real sailor named Captain Alex MacLean. The novel explores themes of
Nietzsche's super-man philosophy and references various philosophers and
writers. The plot revolves around Van Weyden's transformation from a weak
intellectual to a tough and self-reliant individual. The story includes
elements of mutiny, romance, and survival as Van Weyden and Larsen's
relationship evolves. The novel ends with their rescue and a kiss between Van
Weyden and a woman named Maud Brewster. Overall, "The Sea-Wolf" delves into
the complexities of human nature and the struggle for survival in a harsh
environment.
