The Sea-Wolf is not one of Londons best novels. It deals with the effective shanghai-ing of a
rather dweebish young middle-class man and an equally middle-class young lady by the evil
Larsen, and their subsequent adventures together. Eventually, of course, good triumphs over
evil (and the course of true love runs smoothly).

Apart from The Sea-Wolf, this volume includes The Law of LIfe, The One Thousand Dozen,
All Gold Canyonand Moon-face.

In 8th grade we were given a list of classics, told to choose one and read it. I picked this one and was so glad I did. This is a great sea-adventure story and I've since read it again. ( )

Really great read, a exciting trip across the North Pacific. ( )

A wonderful exciting book...romantic and dreadful both in parts, great character development....quite different at the end of the book than they start at the beginning. ( )

I was impressed. I expected an engaging story with some element of struggle. But this work, published originally in 1904, adds philosophical insight and a concise demonstration of literary techniques. The character's basis in London's own biography as a writer is interesting. I was originally drawn to this book upon having read about it while on the ferry to San Francisco. ( )
