Jack London: Martin Eden

"Martin Eden" is a novel by the prominent American writer Jack London about dreams and success. A simple sailor, in whom one can easily recognize the author himself, travels a long, hardship-filled path toward literary immortality…
By chance, Martin Eden finds himself in high society, and he is doubly happy and astonished: both by the creative gift that has awakened within him and by the divine image of young Ruth Morse (a "fragile golden flower"), who is so unlike all the people he has known before... From now on, two goals loom incessantly before him: the fame of a writer and possessing the woman he loves.
But dreams are unpredictable and treacherous: it is unknown when they will come true and whether that will bring the long-awaited joy…
