About This Novel
Young sailor Martin Eden accidentally met the upper-class Miss Rose. Inspired by her, he studied hard on his own and began a arduous creative career. Although he encountered obstacles at every turn, he still refused to obey Rose's arrangement and join her father's office to become a "promising young man." Later, his fortune suddenly turned around. Manuscripts that had been rejected before were published one after another, and he became a popular writer. Relatives and friends who used to look down on him rushed to treat him to dinner. Even Rose, who had broken up with him, came to embrace him. This made him see clearly this bleak society, and his beautiful illusions about love were completely shattered...

Still a little pessimistic
This book combines the ups and downs, and in the end the world-weary mood is exaggerated to a certain extent, and the irony is obvious, but the overall tone still makes people feel a bit pessimistic.
