Martin Eden

The story of a sailor who fell in love with a girl from high society and became a writer for her sake. This edition is in English.

The image and story of his hero were created by Jack London during a yacht journey, so the sea plays an important role in the book. He wrote Martin Eden as a reflection of himself, while Ruth is based on his first love. The novel captivated readers so much that over time the "Martin Eden syndrome" emerged in psychology.

Martin was satisfied with his life, not even suspecting what talents lay within him. He set out to sea, then spent every last penny and sought another ship to work on. 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. Will success bring happiness?

The book was published in the series "Eternal Stories in the Original". Illustrations on the cover, endpaper, and flyleaf are by Yulia Shironina.
