First published in 1909, this semi-autobiographical novel, long recognized as Jack London's most ambitious effort, is now available again. The elemental strength the vigor and determination of Martin Eden make him the most vital and original character London ever created.

After nearly half a century, the book retains a freshness and a readability which are truly remarkable. If the issues of socialism or evolution which London probed have long since ceased to burn the public conscience, there are always among us the Martin Edens--the artists struggling with their work, with society, with themselves. As Jack London writes it, the conflict is a fascination.

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.
