Synopsis "Der Seewolf (in German)"

Der Erzähler ist der sensible Humphrey van Weyden, der bei einem Schiffsunglück über Bord geht und von der Ghost gerettet wird. Deren Kapitän ist Wolf Larsen, ein brutaler Mensch mit gro er physischer Kraft und hoher Intelligenz. Gegen Larsen und seine Tyrannei zu bestehen, erfordert van Weydens ganze Kraft. Zwischenzeitlich kommt es zu einer Art Waffenstillstand, doch im weiteren Verlauf greift einer der Männer den anderen mit einem Messer an - Grund ist eine Dame. Schöngeist vs. rohe Kraft: Überleben kann letztlich nur einer der beiden Kontrahenten. Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
