About the Author

Jack London (1876–1916) was born John Chaney in Pennsylvania, USA. In 1896 he was caught up in the gold rush to the Klondike river in north-west Canada, which became the inspiration for The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906). Jack London became one of the most widely read writers in the world.

Format:Paperback
Most astute readers recognise the name Jack London and think:snow, howling hounds and macho adventure. Alongside his "boys-own-adventure" style novels London can be creditted with writing a few classic works and this people is one of them! In many respects Martin Eden is a mirror of London's own life: a rough seafarer educates himself, relentlessly pursues a literary career, succeeds becomes wealthy, rejects the falsity of his new life and seeks a way out. The novel should be read by anyone hoping to pursue a writing career, we see Eden crushed by rejection, with neither his work nor love finding an audience. what holds him back : lack of talent or his low class origins? We witness a writer's stuggle with himself as he attempts to fathom the nature of his failure and more importantly of his success. Martin Eden is not a pretty book, Martin Eden is not a pretty character but both are worth welcoming into your house. Lust, failure, rejection, love and fury. Its all here in black and white: buy it , read it, learn from it and most of all dream it! Along gritty read well worth the journey.

This is a book that captures your attention from the beginning to the last page.
I have read it three times at three different phases of my life and I will read it again in a few years time.
The philosophy of life... Everyone can interpret it in his own way... A MUST READ!

Good value. It is a clean copy, though a bit thick for a paperback, but in all it is satisfactory. It arrived to me very quickly.
