Martin Eden, by Jack London

(Run Time: 14:06)

Jack London’s semi-autobiographical story of becoming a writer, and his social critique of individualism.

Set in San Francisco, this is the story of Martin Eden, an impoverished seaman who pursues, obsessively and aggressively, dreams of education and literary fame. London, dissatisfied with the rewards of his own success, intended Martin Eden as an attack on individualism and a criticism of ambition.
