Column Based On Books The Sea Wolf

Jack Londons take on Nietzschess dubious concept of the Übermensch.In the confined space of a seal-hunting schooner in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the most captivating antagonist ever, captain Wolf Larson, highly intelligent with superhuman physical strength, have it out with the somewhat stodgy protagonist Van Weyden, an intellectual bookworm, scholar, and landlubber. Their philosophies and views on life couldnt be more different.The whole thing is embedded in an exciting adventure on high

What a Maudlin Brews That I dont know whether Jack Londons seafaring novel The Sea-Wolf enjoys the same popularity in the U.S. as it does in Germany, where practically every member of my generation fondly remembers the Weihnachtsvierteiler on TV, in which Raimund Harmstorf as Captain Wolf Larsen mashed a potato in his hand. Speaking of fond memories, though, one must admit that the adaptation came over as rather lengthy when I last watched it. But that is neither here nor there: The most

Possibly the best of Jack London's stories. This book has so much humanity. Although the circumstances of chance encounters in the middle of the Bering Sea are farfetched, this sea faring novel is a more entertaining read than Moby Dick.

It began simply, on a regular day, except this day I was fortunate enough to find myself in my favorite local bookshop. Right near the door, the owner had purchased and set up a set of books, beautiful-looking Readers Digest books, classics. I specifically went there looking for Mark Twain, and I ended up with three of them. I also had my eye on Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. I wanted to get one more book, but I didnt know which one to get. Kipling, Verne, Austen, Dickens. So I asked the proprietor

Oh my god. This book is...well, it defies description. At first, I thought "Oh, illegal seal hunting, violence, and poor health conditions on a ship lost in the Bering Sea. What's not to love?" (Note the heavy sarcasm.)Turns out, all of those things have a very minor role in the story. It is mostly about the learning experiences of a gentleman aboard a brutal ship, and his conversations with the captain, who is a very unusually educated man. I could go on for pages about the discussions that
