The Sea Wolf is Jack London’s powerful and gripping saga of Humphrey Van Weyden, captured by a seal-hunting ship and now an unwilling sailor under its dreaded captain, Wolf Larsen. The men who sailed with Larsen were treacherous outcasts, but the captain himself was the legendary Sea Wolf–a violent brute of a man.
Jack London was a worshipper of the strong and virtuous hero, and a firm believer in the inevitable triumph of good. The master storyteller nowhere demonstrates this theme more vividly than in this classic American tale of peril and adventure, good and evil.《海狼》是杰克·伦敦关于汉弗莱·范·韦登的强大而扣人心弦的传奇故事,他被一艘海豹狩猎船捕获,现在是一名不情愿的水手,在可怕的船长沃夫·拉森的领导下。与拉森一起航行的人都是背信弃义的弃儿,但船长本人就是传说中的海狼——一个暴力的畜生。 杰克·伦敦崇拜这位坚强善良的英雄,坚信善良的胜利是不可避免的。这位讲故事的大师在这个关于危险和冒险、善与恶的经典美国故事中最生动地展示了这一主题。
