Martin Eden

About “Martin Eden”

Martin Eden is a 1909 novel by Jack London. It follows a young writer's pursuit of fame and love. The story reflects the struggles of writers facing rejection, as illustrated by Martin's belief that his rejected manuscripts were handled by an impersonal system of cogs rather than a human editor. The novel is part of several collections, including Best of Jack London, The Collected Jack London, and Novels and Social Writings.
