Martin Eden

About this edition

The Most Brutally Honest Novel Ever Written About the Price of Ambition

He had nothing: no education, no connections, no polish. Just a burning obsession to become a writer and win the love of a woman far above his station. What followed would cost him everything he thought he wanted.

Martin Eden is Jack London's most personal and devastating work, a semi-autobiographical masterpiece that cuts to the bone of what it truly means to chase greatness in a world that doesn't care whether you succeed or fail.
