內容簡介：
LIVING in Oakland at the dawn of the 20th century， Martin Eden
struggles to rise far above his destitute proletarian
circumstances， the main driving force behind is his love forRuth
Morse. Because Eden is a rough，uneducated sailor from a working
class background， and the Morses are a bourgeoisfamily， a union
between them would be impossible until he reaches their level of
wealth and perceived cultural， intellectualrefmement. The novel
ends with Martin Edencommitting suicide by drowning; a detailwhich
undoubtedly contributed to whatresearcher Clarice Stasz calls the
“biographicalmyth” thatJack London''s own death was asuicide.
