John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.

Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.

London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for this publication
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020
Verified Purchase
A most interesting and well-written novel. Lots of "action", much of it quite violent but good to read just the same. The publisher was not well-known but the softcover book was made with simple excellence.

Fascinating to observe the style of writing London offers at the start of the 20th century. His vocabulary is astonishing. This adds significant time to read it (my vocabulary is much lower than his) but the challenge was acceptable considering the time in which we live (Covid-19 standstill).
The major struggles were his descriptions of the mechanics of handling a period sailing craft. I skipped much of the detail but those in the know of such things may be amazed if he got it right.
As with a couple of his other novels, the adventure ends fairly abruptly and romantically.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wolf Larsen is an interesting character
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023
*The Sea Wolf* I had to force myself through. There are credibility issues that put a strain on one’s ability to maintain interest in the story. For one, it’s hard to believe that a book nerdish, self-described sissy can within a few months become the second biggest man on the boat.

Wolf Larsen is an interesting character along the lines of tyrannical captains, but Jack London makes him too muchof a psychopath.

The first half is good. The interpersonal struggles between shipmates make for some fascinating reading. But when the girl appears in the second half this novel goes downhill. (Well, I got this far, I might as well finish.)

A lot of it is simply a bore. I want human drama, action; but here we have too much logistics. What is this a sailor’s manual?!

"I worked at the tangle. And such a tangle—halyards, sheets, guys, down-hauls, shrouds, stays, all washed about and back and forth and through, and twined and knotted by the sea. I cut no more than was necessary, and what with passing the long ropes under and around the booms and masts, of unreeving the halyards and sheets, of coiling down in the boat and uncoiling in order to pass through another knot in the bight . . . .”

Like all Jack London books this is a fantastic snapshots of times gone by.

Highly descriptive with many tense and exciting moments and a (sort of) villain for the ages.

The quality of the publishing is incredibly poor. Looks like a print-to-order. Better getting a version from an accredited publisher.
