He seems to have learned a lot about all three during his one winter there. Four stars for "John Barleycorn", but add a fifth (star, that is) if alcohol is important to you. Look here to find London's forthright and disenchanted view on the meaning of life. Three stars for "Martin Eden"; see my review under that title. Two or three stars for most of the short stories; those few touching on his experiences as an oyster pirate around San Francisco Bay and his tramping across the country were more interesting. I couldn't get through but half the rest. London made it a point to write 1000 words a day. Would that he had more often sacrificed quantity for quality, but he had to pay the bills. I have to greatly admire the man for having overcome a messed-up family, curtailed education, poverty and several diseases in reaching success. (  ) KENNERLYDAN | Jul 11, 2021 | ) qwiksilver | Oct 30, 2008 |  ) carioca | Mar 21, 2008 | "Martin Eden" was the last book I read, and it is my favorite of all his works because it shows clearly the end result of man's reasoning without God. It makes me so sad to see how close he was to the truth, yet because of his spiritual blindness, he never saw truth clearly. He never saw that the gift of his mind and genius was from God. The "humanness" of man is that which God placed in us, and it sets us apart. It is not something which has occurred because of time and chance, or because of our own struggles. It is the spark of the divine. In spite of their excellence, I am tired of being stabbed by his empty philosophy, so I shall stop reading his works, but I am glad I stopped after Martin Eden, it was a most wonderful look inside the heart and brain of a great, yet "hope" less author. I've kept White Fang and Call of the Wild on my shelves. (  ) MrsLee | Nov 6, 2006 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
