    About this ebook

    A semi-autobiographical novel, which Jack London wrote at the age of 33 at the height of his literary career. The story follows life of Marin Eden, an intelligent young man who becomes a writer through an intense and passionate pursuit of self-education in order to gain acceptance and the respectability of his society-girl sweetheart. Ruth spurns Eden when his writing is rejected initially and later tries to win his heart when he achieves fame. Was Eden’s quest for bourgeois respectability hollow?

      A working sailor, fresh from a sea voyage, young Martin Eden comes to the rescue of a stranger in a barroom brawl. Fisticuffs is one of Martin's developed talents, and the hard work of a sailor has left him particularly well fit to practice it. The stranger is Arthur Morse, a son of one of San Francisco's prominent families. Martin is invited to dinner to meet the grateful family. This is the event that charts an entirely new course for his life.Finding himself in an "upper class" home, Martin drinks in the beauty of it, with real oil paintings on the walls and shelves of books. And then he meets Arthur's sister, Ruth, with her "wide, spiritual blue eyes, and a wealth of golden hair." It is love at first sight and he is determined to raise himself to her level, win her love and make her his wife. Ruth is intrigued with this rough young man and decides she will undertake his gentrification as a personal project.After another tour of sea duty, Martin finds a tailor and buys a good bespoke black suit and applies himself fiercely to his education, working his way through piles of books from the free library. In much less time than it would take for him to complete his grammar school education and enter high school, Martin's long hours of study yield the result he had hoped for. He finds himself the intellectual equal of Ruth's fine friends—indeed the superior of all except one university professor. He looks about himself and wonders what these ninnies have done with their fine educations.I found this later effort of Jack London slow going at the outset, but stuck with it until I became involved in the narrative and began to look forward to progressing through the story. There was quite definitely a surprise ending. I won't discuss that here, in the event that you know as little about the book as I did when I undertook to read it. But I puzzled about why London had chosen his ending. And so I researched his life story and read book reviews. Not surprisingly, London's stated goal in writing the book was not one that scholars have accepted. Once turned loose on the world, a work of art inherits whatever meaning its consumers assign, and London's work is no exception.Intended message aside, Martin Eden is autobiographical, and even prophetic. London did educate himself, did spend years as the starving artist, writing and stacking up an enormous stack of rejection slips, and did quite suddenly become an extraordinarily successful and popular writer, the most financially rewarded author in the history of publishing up to that time. And like Martin Eden, fame, social acceptance, and immense wealth did not bring the life he had imagined.I would not rate Martin Eden in my top ten fiction list—or even in my top 100. I've not given up on London, though. I have just begun reading his famous dog novels and a collection of his short stories. London himself thought Martin Eden was his finest work, though many fans of his adventure stories are disappointed. Perhaps the philosophical discourse he so loved is just not their cup of tea.

      Written in 1909, it really is a fascinating book. There are some parts that are kind of boring and seemingly irrelevant, and there are a lot of fancy, old-fashioned words that I had to use my Kindles ability to look up the meanings, but overall I found it interesting and compelling.

      Published in 1909, three years earlier than G.B Shaw's Pygmalion (1912), Martin Eden is a male Eliza Doolittle. Saving an upper-class gent in a brawl leads to Martin's introduction into this wealthy family, where he falls in love with the daughter, Ruth Morse. From his point of view, Martin realizes that he must 'improve' himself to meet Ruth at an equal level: he sets out to learn proper English, mend his ways, and goes to school to learn all subjects. Bent on giving up his life as a sailor, he tries to change jobs, and hits on the idea that a career in writing is the best way to go to make a fortune, which would put him on an equal footing with Ruth. Years of toil and rejection follow, but Martin perseveres. In the meantime, however, Ruth's parents steer her away from an unthinkable marriage with Martin Eden, who, in their eyes, will always remain an unworthy choice. Losing Ruth, and achieving fame and riches through the (same) stories which were rejected so many times before, Martin Eden becomes disillusioned. He writes no new stories, and in the end goes back to sea, where he came from.At just over 400 pages, Martin Eden by Jack London is a remarkably readable novel. It is semi-autobiographical, and puts an interesting angle of the reality of becoming a writer, in particular getting stories published in literary magazines. With class differences in the young American nation being less important than in Shaw's Great Britain, the Morse family supposedly nouveau riche, class plays a minor role in the novel.

      1070 Martin Eden, by Jack London (read 1 Sep 1970) I was not impressed by this book. Crude writing, I thought. [SPOILER] The story of a writer who is a boorish egotist, starves, becomes successful, and then commits suicide. Surely London's other stuff is not this contrived? I have only read The Call of the Wild, and that was when I was a boy. The date I read it was Nov 10, 1942--I was then 14.
    • 5/5
      In my opinion one develops a taste for London when young - ready for an Adventure... But he can be appreciated at any age and read many times, each time offering something new. And so Martin Eden, after the initial head spin at - say - 13, caused by the hero's valiant struggle, his rise and (inevitable) fall, becomes "simply" a very good read. No trivia, just Life.
    • 4/5
      London's best, I think. I understand he is outre among serious (meaning academic) critics, but I still find his character development and the pacing of his narrative first-rate.And besides, one of Tom Waits' best songs, "Shiver Me Timbers", has that line "Oh I know Martin Eden gonna be proud of me/ Many before me have been called by the sea," so that sort of obligates us to read it once in a while.

      I was so excited for him the whole time. Why did it have to end that way? I am so disappointed.
    • 5/5
      If Martin Eden is indeed autobiographical, it demonstrates the extraordinarily perceptive intellect and much-tortured soul of Jack London. The book is riveting. At first, somewhat banal in its celebration of the typical hard man, then academic in its treatment of the philosophers of its time, then ending in a way that Hemingway would have been proud. London's own story of intellect and physical rigour are captured in the work. While White Fang and Call of the Wild may have been his more popular works, and I found The Assassination Bureau fascinating, here London is at his best. Much like George Bernard Shaw's Back to Methuselah, which Shaw considered to be his masterpiece, I cannot help but think that this was London's masterpiece, although the purchasing public may not have agreed.
    • 5/5
      As much as I liked London's more famous White Fang and The Call of the Wild, this novel is even better. It is quite different in subject from most of his work so those approaching it thinking to read an adventure tale might be disappointed. Martin Eden is a young working man who, inspired by love for an upper middle-class girl, discovers he has the intellect, talent and sensibility to be an author. Eden struggles to better himself & to get published (many believe this character is semi-autobiographical at the very least, though there are some important differences between London & Eden's philosophical outlooks).London's characterizations in this novel are marvellous - not just Martin & Ruth but also relatively minor characters such as Martin's brother-in-law Higganbotham, a temporary colleague in laundry work Joe & Martin's landlady Maria are so well drawn.
    • 4/5
      A semi-autobiographical story about a young man from the lower class in San Fransciso who meets an upper middle class girl. The meeting opens his eyes to a whole new world of luxury and sophistication. His infatuation with the beautiful girl drives him to improve himself and he turns to writing as a means of work and expression. A seemingly simple tale of rags-to-riches but with dark overtones.
    • 5/5
      This is the first book I have read by Jack London, which may or may not be a good thing. Because this is semi-autobiographical, it gave me a good introduction to him, but also left me wondering what his other books are like. Needless to say, if the writing is similar to this, I can not wait to take on his other books. He has a wonderful way with words and seems to have a consciousness of the plights of different types of people and characterizes wonderfully, while sympathizing more with the "lesser" class. Absolutely wonderful.
    • 4/5
      sounds slightly depressed, a little removed from his real self. but as a portrait of a young man in the making, it feels real and sincere. almost one of a kind for an american.
    • 4/5
      The struggle to achieve success and then disillusionment with the accomplishment of a young writer. The character of Eden is inhuman in many ways with the work ethic etc. I assume this was intentional to demonstrate the inhuman struggles of writers.
    • 4/5
      Jack London writes well. This semi-autobiographical tale set in turn of the century Bay Area in California relates the struggles, triumphs and ultimate surrender of Martin Eden. The book was an easy read and written so well that it kept my interest throughout. I was getting tired of his refusals but finally he wins out. But after all that struggle he becomes empty. I was surprised by the ending. His death throes were, once again, written well.
    • 5/5
      Given that Martin Eden is the most autobiographical work Jack London ever wrote (this, according to Andrew Sinclair, who wrote the Intro), we have to believe that the author actually lived most of what he writes. If so, the work should be mandatory reading for anyone contemplating a writing career at the cost of a day-job.

      If any of us should still believe that ‘the road less traveled’ is a glorious one, this work will cure him or her of that illusion. But for an occasional fluke (which aspiring writers and the publishing world alike all feed upon), the writer’s life – if Jack London’s is a fair example, and I believe it is – is one of poverty and debilitation – if not downright humiliation. Oh, and did I mention hunger?

      But no matter. Go and feast on the ideal if you insist. Just know that the ideal contains damned few calories.

      At one point, Martin Eden (the eponymous principal character of this novel) actually does achieve fame and fortune. Is this, then, a kind of ‘Cinderella story?’ Without giving away the actual conclusion of London’s novel, I’ll allow you a glimpse via some of his principal character’s ruminations: “And always was Martin’s maddening and unuttered demand: Why didn’t you feed me then? It was work performed. “The Ring of Bells” and “The Peri and the Pearl” (two of the fictional writer’s short stories) are not changed one iota. They were just as artistic, just as worthwhile, then as now. But you are not feeding me for their sake, nor for the sake of anything else I have written. You’re feeding me because it is the style of feeding just now, because the whole mob is crazy with the idea of feeding Martin Eden” (p. 450).

      Antiquated if not downright flawed though it and he may be, I suspect that Martin Eden (the novel) and Martin Eden (the novel’s protagonist) are – just as is London’s superb short story, “To Build a Fire” – memories to last a lifetime. In this age of rampant self-publication and an unbridled quest after the glory of artistic recognition – but in which so few are willing to do the work London obviously did to achieve recognition for his work – this novel should stand as both Bible and roadmap. Or as Dante once wrote over the gates of Hell, “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
