Un marinero de veinte años, fuerte, guapo y curtido, con un historial de delincuencia y trabajo rudo, es invitado casi por accidente a cenar en un hogar pequeño burgués. Él, que sólo ha visto un óleo en los escaparates de las tiendas, que no tiene ni idea de lo que es un lavafrutas, queda fascinado ante lo que sus ojos le presentan como cultura y civilizacion.En Martin Eden, la mas autobiografica de las obras de Jack London, el modelo de novela de formacion se materializa en una narracion veridica tan completa y vital que deja atras la retorica de la verosimilitud. El proceso de su heroe, de "verdadero salvaje" a filosofo del individualismo nietzscheano, de tosco trabajador manual a respetado escritor de exito, es descrito con una intensidad a veces alucinatoria, hasta su conclusion fatalmente ironica. Incomprendida en su momento, Martin Eden ha sido luego lectura inolvidable para generaciones de escritores en ciernes.
The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908.Generally considered to be "the earliest of the modern Dystopian," it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States.
