See all formats and editions

A classic tale of adventure at sea, The Sea-Wolf tells the story of the nave young Humphrey van Weyden, whose ship is wrecked in a terrible storm.

He is rescued by the mysterious Captain Wolf Larsen of the ship Ghost.

Humphreys new life aboard Ghost will test him to the limits of his endurance but also bring him the greatest happiness he has ever known.

Captain Wolf Larsen is a powerful, brutal man with a razor sharp intelligence.

When there is an attempted mutiny on board he shows no mercy to the would-be mutineers, and when his brother Death Larsen attempts to take over the Ghost by force, there is no love lost between them in their vicious battle.

Wolfs cruel manner is thrown into sharp relief by the gentle spirit of the beautiful poetess also rescued, Maud Brewster, who charms both Wolf and Humphrey.

As Humphrey falls in love with Maud, he must contend not only with the dangers of being at sea but with competition from his cruel and scheming captain.

The Sea-Wolf is a dramatic tale of mutiny and shipwreck, but at its heart is the story of a love that flourishes in the unlikeliest of places.

Jack Londons thrilling narrative of the seven seas remains just as gripping today as it was a hundred years ago.
