A semi-autobiographical novel, Martin Eden tells the story of a writer working to achieve recognition. When he finally finds fame he becomes disillusioned. Not only does he come to realize that the woman he was working so hard to impress isn ́t worth the effort after all, but he feels that he has failed his true self. Dejected, he leaves for the South Seas, where the unthinkable happens.

Work Description
Jack London's Martin Eden was first published in 1909 and is the story of a young writer's quest for celebrity and love. Much loved by writers who identify with Martin's belief that when he posted 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,' that automatically returned it slapped with a rejection slip.
