The Sea-Wolf

When Humphrey Van Weyden is left in the San Francisco bay as a result of a collision with another boat, he is picked up by the intellectual and brutish captain of the Ghost, Captain Wolf Larsen. Weyden is subsequently forced to become a part of Captain Larsen’s crew as he sets sail for an adventure to pursue seal hunting.

Released in 1904, the Whitewolf Classic of this novel contains the original English text of this seafaring thriller. The Sea-Wolf explores modern themes at the start of the 20th century of Survival of the Fittest and the contest of idealism versus reality, the maturation of the intellectual man, and potential degradations as a result of the human condition, especially in the face of moral questions and one’s existence in a natural setting of the Pacific Ocean.
