Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Martin Eden" by Jack London is a novel published in 1909 about a young working-class sailor who struggles to become a writer. Driven by love for Ruth Morse, a woman from a bourgeois family, Martin Eden pursues intense self-education to rise above his circumstances. As he transforms himself through relentless effort, he becomes increasingly isolated from both his working-class roots and the elite society he sought to join. The novel explores themes of social class, individualism, and the cost of ambition.
