Eine Sichtweise darauf, dass der Mensch nur Mensch ist, wenn er keine Angst und Not hat. 
Antiklimaktisch in der krankhaften Verehrung eines größenwahnsinnigen Tieres, der die Ausgeliefertheit auf See  für ein Experiment ausnutzt, um sich sich selbst seine Weltanschauung zu bestätigen. Doch durch einen Halo-Effekt geschützt kann er von der Hauptfigur nicht gänzlich als Unmensch eingestuft werden, der sich lieber in eine Ignoranz rettet, und sich einem, von seiner Vorstellung in gottgleiche Höhen gehobenen, Gegenpol zuwendet, und an damalige gesellschaftliche Vorstellungen klammert.

🟦 Again. Ah, but I observe my countrymen, & tharrr mock'ry. Are we homos or are we vulpines? Every Man Jack, has a reason, be it said, a purpose to fulfill, AND those that will consciously beget snares and cackle like Hyenas as the dog trapped snarls at his predicament. The Seawolf is a story of love, bravery, and betrayal. The reef 🪸 stank rancid, the surf placid. Gators are fresh water dwellers, & normally wolves trek to the hills. However, that particular 🐺 had played a scurvy trick, what chance had he to be anything else than he was? a Journeyman.

"The world of books and bookish folk is very vague, more like a dream memory than an actuality."

In my bunk there is a certain deja Vu I feel looking over the spines and all they entail; had I not read them all before? Had every page merely needed to be glanced by, as the memory of them burns into the memory, and of them the memory holds power. The curious thing about space, is that space can be condensed. The body itself takes up space, tho myriads of ideas plumb the depths inside. 💠 & Believing that they are true, You need only read them. 

"The serious critic, with the sense of humor and the power of expression, must inevitably command the world's ear."

Reading between the lines is a silly euphemism. The lines are all the matter, the context is apparent to the individual. Jack London is a more serious author, had the life he himself had writ about, at times gravely, in earnest, and of no laughing matter sort. The above mentioned reading between the lines is a yawn, all the more specious to it's author's intent. Reading needs must take me on an adventure, all the time, and, provide insight to the riddle of life. It's more under the surface, than the surface is like a trick 🪞 mirror... Truth is absolute, tho society is built on lies and falsities through-and-through. Most everything you see, you see it because you're supposed to, and everything you know is theory. Because the origin of our species is mighty theoretical. You can't trust anyone, & so how do you know that you can trust the system? The system breeds discontent and rumor. It's all a vacuum of ideas, presupposing basic human traits of flaw.

I liked some of the more controversial views about life presented in this book.
