Creators: Mixed Jack London's novel The Sea Wolf became an instant bestseller on its release in 1904. Ambrose Bierce wrote "The great thing - and it is among the greatest of things - is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen...the hewing out and setting up of such a figure is black for a man to do in one lifetime." The Sea Wolf tells the story of intellectual Humphrey van Weyden's toughening and growth in the face of brutality and hardship. Set adrift after his ferry collides in fog and sinks, van Weyden is pulled out of the sea by Wolf Larsen.

LikedIt's a bit clunky. It's not a masterpiece, I don't think, but Jack London does a great job of bringing adventure writing, but then adding these flights of philosophical rumination, which I find very enjoyable and that doubleness of being on one boat, but trying to reconcile these completely opposite worldviews and the trouble and calamity that brings is just the last one that I wanted to mention.
What made the match, strongest first
