Martin Eden, un marin de vingt ans issu des quartiers pauvres d'Oakland, décide de se cultiver pour faire la conquête d'une jeune bourgeoise. Il se met à écrire, et devient un auteur à succès. Mais l'embourgeoisement ne lui réussit pas... Désabusé, il part pour les îles du Pacifique. Ce magnifique roman paru en 1909, le plus riche et le plus personnel de l'auteur, raconte la découverte d'une vocation, entre exaltation et mélancolie. Car la réussite de l'oeuvre met en péril l'identité de l'écrivain. Comment survivre à la gloire, et l'unir à l'amour, sans se perdre soi-même ? Telle est la quête de Martin Eden, le marin qui désire éperdument la littérature.

Work Description
Jack London's Martin Eden was first published in 1909 and is the story of a young writer's quest for celebrity and love. Much loved by writers who identify with Martin's belief that when he posted a manuscript, 'there was no human editor at the other end, but a mere cunning arrangement of cogs that changed the manuscript from one envelope to another and stuck on the stamps,' that automatically returned it slapped with a rejection slip.
