Martin Eden

The story of a sailor who fell in love with a girl from high society and became a writer for her sake. He achieved fame, but lost love and himself: success did not save him from loneliness, and the world... he aspired to turned out to be alien.

Jack London created the image and story of his hero during a yacht trip, which is why the sea plays an important role in the book. He wrote Martin Eden drawing from himself, and Ruth from his first love. The novel captivated readers so much that after a while, the "Martin Eden syndrome" appeared in psychology.

Martin was content with his life, not even suspecting what talents lay hidden within him. He would go on voyages, then spend every penny and seek a ship to work on again. Everything changed when Martin met Ruth and fell madly in love with her. To win her affection, he decides to break into the world of literature. But can success bring happiness?
