Snark Pacific Adventures

About This Novel
The author of this book was inspired by the heroes he admired - Melville, the author of "Moby Dick" and Stevenson, the author of "Treasure Island" - and determined to go on an exploratory voyage to the Pacific Ocean. In 1907, he, his wife and crew sailed from San Francisco on the Snark. Despite being seasick and suffering from tropical illness, London continued to write, and in addition to some important novels and short stories, he also wrote this non-fiction book, including "The Leper of Molokai", "The Crater of the House of the Sun" and "The Secret of Tybee Valley". These humorous and magical adventure chapters record London's adventure experiences and stories at sea and on the islands, reflecting his indomitable and courageous manhood. London's psychology and behavior of not being satisfied with the status quo and liking to explore are well reflected in the book. Readers will see that while traveling around the world brings excitement and joy, it is also full of dangers, tests and challenges, which has implications for our real life. With its unique charm, this work has been included in the world-famous "Penguin Classics" series.
