Synopsis "El Lobo de Mar (in Spanish)"

Tras el choque del transbordador Martínez con un vapor en la bahía de San Francisco el crítico literario Humphrey Van Weyden sube a bordo de la fragata Fantasma, capitaneada por Lobo Larsen. Se le impide el regreso a la costa y se ve obligado a formar parte de la tripulación del barco, que se dirige a cazar focas. Muy pronto Van Weyden descubre un mundo brutal en ese microcosmos en el que gobierna y domina Lobo Larsen. Un hombre dominado por los instintos animales más brutales, que basa sus actos en el poder de la fuerza, para quien la vida de un semejante no tiene valor, pero que no obstante posee una inteligencia que le permite filosofar sobre ella y tener conciencia de la vida.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
