The Sea-Wolf and Other Stories Book

Jack London is a wonderful story teller with a grit and style all his own. The Sea Wolf was a literary exploration concerning London's recent readings of Nietzsche's, "On The Genealogy of Morality."

Set in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the 19th century, a dandy literary critic finds himself Shanghaied on a sealing boat, captained by The Wolf, bound for Japanese waters. His new world having become an isolated Clipper, he finds his unbanity little protection from its caustic environment and the work/resolve it requires of him.

This is a book about an individual facing humanity and nature alone, about self respect and the becoming of a man. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys sailing, adventure and/or Nietzsche's writings concerning die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Menschen, WerdenMensche, und die UberMensche.
