What do you think about the book Martin Eden?
What do you think about the book Martin Eden? It's about a tough young sailor educating himself etc and is quite different from London's other works. Apparently very popular in Russia and Türkiye but less in United States. Already after a few pages where Martin has a conversation with Ruth about Charles Algernon Swinburne poetry, Ruth says some interesting things about what poetry and writing really means:
"Every line of the really great poets is filled with beautiful truth, and calls to all that is high and noble in the human. Not a line of the great poets can be spared without impoverishing the world by that much.”
Sounds quite different from the London of White Fang and Call of The Wild. He wasn't just the Dog Guy, he wrote lots of other stuff too. And I feel like Martin Eden should be just as famous as White Fang and Call of The Wild.
