More about the book

Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, the story follows Martin Eden, a struggling sailor determined to achieve education and literary fame. This semiautobiographical work by Jack London critiques the notion of independence and ambition, reflecting the author's own frustrations with success. Andrew Sinclair's extensive introduction delves into the tension between London's advocacy for socialism and his individualistic drive, while also drawing parallels between Eden's life and London's personal struggles, including his mental health challenges.
