Jack London
The Sea Wolf
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Nov. 13, 2014)
The author is a sailor; his protagonist, Humphrey van Weyden, is not. He must become one, however, if he is to survive. Adrift in San Francisco Bay after a collision, he is rescued by the outbound schooner GHOST. Wolf Larson, its seal-hunter captain, refuses to reverse course and bullies the intellectual van Wyden into becoming a member of his crew. The captain, he discovers, also has intellectual leanings. Van Weyden finds himself as something of a confident of his volatile master. He also finds himself promoted to a position beyond his skills. Larson’s acts of cruelty toward his charges, eventually results in a mutiny, with van Weyden caught in the middle. When Maud Brewster is taken aboard after a storm, tensions between the two men build toward unavoidable and decisive confrontation.
