Sinopsis

What happens when brute strength meets intellectual will... on a ship that knows no mercy?

The Sea-Wolf is one of Jack London's greatest novels—an intense and gripping psychological drama set aboard a ghostly sealing schooner. When literary critic Humphrey Van Weyden is rescued after a shipwreck, he finds himself under the iron rule of Wolf Larsen—a ruthless sea captain with the mind of a philosopher and the soul of a tyrant.

As the ship sails further into dangerous waters, Van Weyden must confront not only the physical perils of the sea but also the moral and intellectual force of Larsen. A novel of survival, dominance, and the tension between mind and muscle, The Sea-Wolf is a dark and thought-provoking journey into human nature.

This edition includes historical context, illustrations, and reader-friendly formatting for modern audiences.

"One of the most powerful seafaring tales ever written." — The Atlantic
"A psychological thriller with literary muscle." — Library Journal

    Twas the Night Before Christmas has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American" and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors. A Visit from St. Nicholas eventually was set to music and has been recorded by many artists.
