About This Novel
In "Sea Wolf", Jack London puts the social stage on a seal-hunting sailing ship, the "Devil". The protagonist Van Weyden is a literary critic. On his way back from a weekend vacation with his friends, they encountered heavy fog and their boat was sunk. As he was dying in the cold water, the lucky Wei Deng was rescued by Captain Larson of the "Devil". Due to the death of the first mate on the ship, Larsen did not agree to send Weiden back to San Francisco, but forced him to go to sea with the ship and do various hard labor. During this time, Weiden witnessed Larsen's ruthlessness and his violent rule. Nicknamed "Sea Wolf", Larson is stronger than the average sailor and has infinite strength. We firmly believe that "the big swallows the small, the strong bullies the weak". In order to save one of his sailboards from being washed away by the big waves, he actually risked the life of a sailor Kelly. When he was unhappy, he took it out on the cook Thomas, had him caught, tied with a rope and thrown into the sea to torture him. As a result, one of his feet was bitten off by a shark. When Wei Deng accidentally removed the ashes on him, he punched and kicked him. Eventually his violent rule sparked a rebellion, and several sailors banded together to throw him and his first mate overboard, where they perished. However, he climbed back onto the ship and regained control. Later, he used the excuse to retaliate against the two sailors who led the resistance, and used the storm at sea to kill them.
