J'ai adoré la fin, la plume est superbe (même si j'ai lu une version traduite). Le rythme de la narration est lent, mais il permet de savourer la progression de Martin et de mieux rentrer dans sa peau et sa tête ! Une lecture très immersive qui m'a accompagnée pendant les vacances d'été.

I haven't read anything like this. It was beautiful. Martin is a lovable character and I love him enough to cry like a child at the end. I think it was about me too because I felt like I knew him and this life. This is probably the first time I've internalized a book this much since reading Harry Potter at the age of 12.

4,75 arrondi à 5!
Entendons-nous, sachant que Martin Eden est un peu l'alter ego de Jack London, il ne se prend pas pour du seven up flat! Mais l'évolution de ce personnage est fascinante, l'expérience du monde de l'édition enrageante et les désillusions font mal au coeur. Ça parle de classes sociales, de philosophie... et ça nous laisse un peu désespéré.

J'imagine que London ne devait pas être fort guilleret au moment de l'écriture de ce roman!

"It never entered his head to be ashamed of those he knew"

The second Jack London book I've read, his weird veneration of women I find a little off putting, but he is undeniably one of the great imaginative writers
