Complete and unabridged, with 100 full-page plates by Thomas Luny, J. M. W. Turner and Ivan Aivazovsky. A literary gentleman is picked out of San Francisco Bay by a sealing schooner whose captain is the strongest and most intelligent brute either of them has met. London had sailed on such a voyage at seventeen; the argument between Wolf Larsen and his prisoner is the argument London had with himself all his life and never settled. One hundred plates of storm, wreck and becalmed sail by Aivazovsky and Turner follow the schooner from San Francisco Bay through every sea the novel crosses.
