Martin Eden

The story of a sailor who fell in love with a girl from high society and became a writer for her. He achieved fame, but lost love and himself: success did not save him from loneliness, and the world he aspired to turned out to be foreign.

The image and story of his hero were created by Jack London during his yacht travels, which is why the sea plays an important role in the book. He wrote Martin Eden from himself, and Ruth from his first love. The novel captivated readers so much that after some time the "Martin Eden syndrome" appeared in psychology.

Martin was satisfied with his life, even unaware of the talents hidden within him. He set out to sea, then spent every last penny and looked for a ship to work on again. Everything changed when Martin met Ruth and fell hopelessly in love with her. To win her favor, he decides to break into the world of literature. But can success bring happiness?
