圖書描述

The Sea-Wolf

The Sea-Wolf is a novel written in 1904 by American author Jack London. Of it, Ambrose Bierce wrote: "the great thing—and it is among the greatest of things—is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen... the hewing out and setting up of such a figure is enough for a man to do in one lifetime." An immediate bestseller, the first printing of forty thousand copies was sold out before publication.

Plot Summary

Like The Call of the Wild, The Sea-Wolf tells the story of a soft, domesticated creature forced to become tough and self-reliant by exposure to cruelty and brutality. In this case, the creature is human: a literary intellectual named Humphrey van Weyden. Onboard a San Francisco ferry which collides with a ship in the fog and sinks, he is picked up ("rescued" is not the word) by Wolf Larsen. Larsen is the captain of the seal-hunting schooner Ghost, bound for Japan. Brutal and cynical, yet also highly intelligent and intellectual he rules over his ship and terrorizes the crew with the aid of his exceptionally great physical strength. Van Weyden adequately describes him as an individualist, a hedonist and a materialist. As Larsen does not believe in the immortality of the soul he finds no meaning in his life and has come to despise all human life and deny its value. Being interested in someone capable of intellectual disputes he somewhat takes care of "Hump" while forcing him to become a cabin boy, do menial work, and learn to fight to protect himself from a brutal crew. Later, another castaway is picked up, Maud Brewster, a famous woman poet, with whom Hump soon falls in love. After an attempt to escape from the Ghost Maud and Hump are cast away on a lonely island. In inhospitable conditions they are forced to learn to provide for themselves beyond every human civilization. But then, Larsen - meanwhile deserted by his crew - reaches their island.

Background

The name "Wolf Larsen" was that of a real sailor London had known. Nevertheless, London was called "Wolf" by his close friends, used a picture of a wolf on his bookplate, and named his mansion "Wolf House." One may be excused for imagining that the autodidact sailor Wolf Larsen bears some resemblance to the autodidact sailor Jack London. (Hump's experiences also doubtless bear some resemblance to experiences Jack had, or heard told about, when he sailed on the Sophia Sutherland).

Jack London's intention in writing the The Sea-Wolf was "an attack on Nietzsche's super-man philosophy." The novel also contains references to Herbert Spencer, Omar Khayyám, Hippolyte Taine, Shakespeare and John Milton.

From AudioFile

Journey back to the days when men were Men and listen to the sounds of the seas, the mixture of accents and the rule of the Wolf. Bikel combines his years on stage and screen to create a spellbinding rendition of this tale. His clear voice brings chills to the listener as he relates the trials and tribulations of Humphrey Van Weydon, the cruelty of Wolf Larsen and life on the Ghost, their ship. While the abridgment brings out the meat of the story, Bikel captures its essence with strident tones and interesting characterizations. M.B.K.

海狼的绝对理性和冷血,凡丶卫登和莫德的文明或者说懦弱,在魔鬼号上发生碰撞,凡丶卫登的不断成长和海狼的不断削弱。预示着文明必将战胜野蛮,最终海狼死于疾病,葬于大海,野蛮覆灭的同时,也给了海狼最大的尊重。在整本书的中后部,凡丶卫登和莫德在努力岛上的生活给我一种...

杰克伦敦非凡的人生阅历造就了这部经典的《海浪》,尽管故事非常简单,小说描写了在一艘名为“幽灵号” 的以捕猎海豹为生的帆船上发生的一场动人心弦的搏斗,但是折射出了深刻的哲学内涵。小说中的“狼”不仅是船长拉森的名字,对作者而言,也是超人的代名词,作者通过作品带领...

同样是狼。海狼,凶狠,残暴;多了几分! 它的名字:赖生,从原文的角度来说,应该是海狼赖生,抑或“船主”;其它名号也无非是野兽,蛮人之类;除了“船主”(还是它硬生逼迫船员叫的),看不到文明的痕迹。它的身体仿佛退化(还是进化?)到石器时代,单手捏碎土...
