Description

---

Wolf Larsen, vicious and brutal despite his great intelligence, captains the seal-hunting schooner, the Ghost, ruling over his crew with a rod of iron. Cast adrift after his ship is in a collision, bookish Humphrey van Weyden is dragged aboard the Ghost and set to work on the ship, where he is exposed to the unrelentingly harsh life as part of Larsen's crew. Mutiny, murder and a beautiful young rescued castaway challenge van Weyden to his limits. Jack London's creation, Wolf Larsen, is acclaimed as one of literature's great antagonists.
