Resolved to read more books about the sea after a visit to California, and this was the first one I picked up. It suffers from some plot issues and a change of pace halfway through, but overall London's beautiful writing and the fascinating musing on the nature and purpose of man made this book far more engaging than I expected.

Der Konflikt besteht hier darin, das zwei Menschen aufeinandertreffen die Unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Zum einen der vermeintliche Protagonist, gebildet, physisch schwach und Bildhübsch. Zum Anderen ein Mann der Physisch jedem Überlegen ist, seine Mannschaft Terrorisiert aber sich auch sehnt Intelligent wie der ihm gegenüber zu sein. Aus dem Groll heraus das nicht zu erreichen isoliert dieser sich.
Hochspannend, grausam und unberechenbar beschreiben die Stimmung wohl ganz gut. Leser die mit Hochseegeschichten gar nichts anfangen können würde ich dieses Buch nicht empfehlen. Allen anderen lege ich es ans Herz.

It's probably the most pulpy adventure story I've read in a while, but no doubt that it's fun and pleasantly ridiculous. For the most part it remains aware of its biases.

Gripping, the first half in particular. Will be re reading and seeking out more from London after this.

Нормальная книжка!

У [a:Jack London|1240|Jack London|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1508674808p2/1240.jpg] есть талант, и книги он писать умеет, так что читать было легко и не нудно!!! Но вся его жизненная философия пришлась мне не по душе: ни "идеализм" Хэмфри, ни "материализм" Волка Ларсена мне не понравились. Как-то все это по-дилетантски было!!!!!

А сюжет был более или менее интересный, и даже неожиданные повороты были! Но меня все это не особо впечатлило, хотя если бы я прочитал эту книгу в детстве, может быть, был бы в восторге.
