Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Sea-Wolf" by Jack London is a psychological adventure novel published in 1904. Literary critic Humphrey Van Weyden survives a shipwreck only to be rescued by Wolf Larsen, a brutal yet brilliant sea captain who forces him into servitude aboard a seal-hunting schooner. The soft intellectual must learn to survive among a violent crew while confronting Larsen's nihilistic philosophy and physical dominance. When a young woman is rescued at sea, Van Weyden faces new challenges protecting her from both the merciless captain and the harsh realities of life at sea.
