Martin Eden
Jack London
Leído por Greg W.





Martin Eden (1909) is a novel by American author Jack London, about a struggling young writer. It was first serialized in the Pacific Monthly magazine from September 1908 to September 1909, and subsequently published in book form by The Macmillan Company in September 1909.
This book is a favorite among writers, who relate to Martin Eden's speculation that when he mailed off a manuscript, 'there was no human editor at the other end, but a mere cunning arrangement of cogs that changed the manuscript from one envelope to another and stuck on the stamps,' returning it automatically with a rejection slip.
While some readers believe there is some resemblance between them, an important difference between Jack London and Martin Eden is that Martin Eden rejects socialism (attacking it as 'slave morality'), and relies on a Nietzschean individualism. In a note to Upton Sinclair, Jack London wrote, "One of my motifs, in this book, was an attack on individualism (in the person of the hero). I must have bungled, for not a single reviewer has discovered it." (Introduction by Wikipedia) (14 hr 48 min)

Excellent

Greg W is an excellent reader - and likes to remain low profile, I guess, hence the "W", and he doesn't even say his name between chapters as do other Libravox readers - but he's very professional. Excellent.
Martin Eden





TheBookworm
If this is Jack London's finest novel, some of its power derives from autobiography. Like his protagonist, London was born into the working class, had been a seaman and a laundry worker, and eventually became an incredibly prolific writer. All this equipped him to describe the cultural chasm between the social classes with great precision and feeling. Certain individuals in the entertainment industry would do well to read London's account of the effect of fame. These are timeless insights. Thank you, Greg, for helping many to re/discover this great American novel. TheBookworm (Manchester, UK)
Great author and great book and great reader!

Inspirational! Full of heat and vigor. A book that makes a man want to take up a pen and write, to roll up his sleeves a live! Also a book that leaves one pondering his place in the world and his relations to other men.
Excellent Recording
