About this ebook

The Sea-Wolf is the gripping tale of Humphrey Van Weyden who is ship-wrecked after embarking on what was meant to be a pleasure cruise. When he is picked up by a passing ship, he initially believes he has been rescued by kind saviours. But Humphrey soon finds out that he has in fact boarded the Ghost—a seal-hunting ship captained by the terrifying and twisted Wolf Larsen, known by his crew as the Sea-Wolf.

A captivating tale of survival, Jack London’s The Sea-Wolf has been adapted for the screen numerous times, most notably in the 1941 film which was nominated for the Academy Award for best visual effects that year.

Ratings and reviews

It really was a great book. I waited so long for him to confess or kiss her. Atlast at the very end finally they kissed, a relief. Wolf Larsen was really a great character. I'm pretty impressed by his thought process, ideology and living.

Great brutal love story
