First published in 1904, 'The Sea-Wolf' by Jack London is a novel that explores complex themes of human nature and individuality through a captivating tale of adventure at sea. Set on the sealing schooner Ghost, the story follows the intellectual Humphrey van Weyden and his physical and emotional transformation under the hand of the brutal yet charismatic captain Wolf Larsen.

First editions of 'The Sea-Wolf' can be identified by the publisher's '1904' date on the title page, and copies with the dust jacket, if it can be found, are especially valuable. Another indicator is the presence of a single-page advertisement for 'The Call of the Wild' at the back of the book, as it was Jack London's previous novel.
