About this listen

Martin Eden, Jack London’s semiautobiographical novel, is about a struggling young writer. It is considered by many to be the author’s most mature work. Personifying London’s own dreams of education and literary fame as a young man in San Francisco, Martin Eden’s impassioned but ultimately ineffective battle to overcome his bleak circumstances makes him one of the most memorable and poignant characters Jack London ever created.

It is a very great book, but sometimes it is a bit philosophical and abstract. I find it hard to get a complete understanding, but still the storie is great.

All of life is here in the form of hero and anti-hero Martin Eden. It takes a good writer to make you love a character, and Jack London was more than good. Members of the bourgeoisie be warned - you don’t come out of this story looking good.

Good, but sad. Understood it differently from when I read as a teenager. Not everything was believable this time too, but still well worth the time. Can be both inspiring and depressing, thought-provoking in any case.
