The Sea Wolf Unabridged

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.

The book's protagonist, Humphrey van Weyden, is a literary critic who is a survivor of an ocean collision and who comes under the dominance of Wolf Larsen, the powerful and amoral sea captain who rescues him. Its first printing of forty thousand copies was immediately sold out before publication on the strength of London's previous The Call of the Wild.[1] Ambrose Bierce wrote, "The great thing-and it is among the greatest of things-is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen... the hewing out and setting up of such a figure is enough for a man to do in one lifetime... The love element, with its absurd suppressions, and impossible proprieties, is awful."

Jack London began his career at sea, and his shipboard experiences imbue The Sea-Wolf with flavorful authenticity.In the story, the gentleman narrator, Humphrey Van Weyden, is pitted against an amoral sea captain, Wolf Larsen, in a clash of idealism with materialism. The novel begins when Van Weyden is swept overboard into San Francisco Bay, and plucked from the sea by Larsen's seal-hunting vessel, the Ghost. Pressed into service as a cabin boy by the ruthless captain, Van Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a brutal shipboard drama. Larsen's increasingly violent abuse of the crew fuels a mounting tension that ultimately boils into mutiny, shipwreck, and a desperate confrontation.Read and loved around the world, this 1904 maritime classic has influenced such writers as Hemingway, Orwell, and Kerouac.

Wolf Larsen ceased swearing as suddenly as he had begun. He relighted his cigar and glancedaround. His eyes chanced upon the cook."Well, Cooky?" he began, with a suaveness that was cold and of the temper of steel."Yes, sir," the cook eagerly interpolated, with appeasing and apologetic servility."Don't you think you've stretched that neck of yours just about enough? It's unhealthy, youknow. The mate's gone, so I can't afford to lose you too. You must be very, very careful of yourhealth, Cooky. Understand?"His last word, in striking contrast with the smoothness of his previous utterance, snapped like thelash of a whip. The cook quailed under it."Yes, sir," was the meek reply, as the offending head disappeared into the galley.At this sweeping rebuke, which the cook had only pointed, the rest of the crew became uninterestedand fell to work at one task or another. A number of men, however, who were lounging about acompanion-way between the galley and hatch, and who did not seem to be sailors, continued talkingin low tones with one another. These, I afterward learned, were the hunters, the men who shot theseals, and a very superior breed to common sailor-folk."Johansen!" Wolf Larsen called out. A sailor stepped forward obediently. "Get your palm andneedle and sew the beggar up. You'll find some old canvas in the sail-locker. Make it do.""What'll I put on his feet, sir?" the man asked, after the customary "Ay, ay, sir.""We'll see to that," Wolf Larsen answered, and elevated his voice in a call of "Cooky!"Thomas Mugridge popped out of his galley like a jack-in-the-box."Go below and fill a sack with coal."
