商品描述内容简介Inspired by the examples of his heroes Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Joshua Slocum, Jack London determined to sail around the world. In April 1907 he sailed from San Francisco in the forty-five-foot ketchSnark, with his wife, Charmian, a skeleton crew, and his writing to keep him company. Beset by seasickness and tropical disease, London wrote incessantlynot only his major autobiographical novelMartin Edenand numerous short stories, but also a series of sketches recording the voyage itself. These entertaining pieces, collected together into the book he calledThe Cruise of the Snark, reveal Londons indefatigable spirit and love of adventure at sea and among the Pacific islands.作者简介Jack London (18761916) published an enormous number of stories and novels, includingThe Call of the Wild, White Fang, andMartin Eden.
