The Sea-Wolf is a 1904 psychological adventure novel by American
novelist Jack London about a literary critic and survivor of an
ocean collision, who comes under the dominance of Wolf Larsen, the
powerful and amoral sea captain who rescues him. Its first printing
of forty thousand copies were immediately sold out before
publication on the strength of London's previous book "The Call of
the Wild." John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney,
January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author,
journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the
then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of
the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large
fortune from his fiction alone. He is best remembered as the author
of The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike
Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire," "An
Odyssey of the North," and "Love of Life." He also wrote of the
South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The
Heathen," and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
