Arguably one of Jack London's most determined characters, Martin
Eden's obsessive desire to not only write but to be published is
unsurpassed in contemporary literature. Falling in love out of his
own class, Martin Eden pursues a career as a young writer to win
the affections of Ruth Morse. A social blot onto the upper-class
Morse household, Martin Eden strives to gain the class distinction
he desires and by that the affections of his love - Ruth Morse. But
when his efforts have produced little or no result, Ruth's mother,
the matriarch of the powerful Morse industries destroys the young
love and Martin Eden in the process. He is seen as crude and
unrefined, but when a book sells, then another and another, Martin
Eden is now the prized catch of any social gathering. Sending Ruth
back now to recapture their engagement, Martin is now disillusioned
by his misplaced love and his efforts to have pursued it.
