"Martin Eden" is a novel written by Jack London in 1909. It tells the story of a young working-class man named Martin Eden who aspires to become a writer. The novel explores themes of social class, individualism, and the struggles of the artist. Eden falls in love with Ruth Morse, a bourgeois university student, and believes that he must achieve wealth and refinement in order to be with her. After years of hard work and rejection, Eden finally achieves success as a writer but becomes disillusioned with the bourgeoisie and fame. The novel also delves into the topics of human consciousness, machinery, and suicide. "Martin Eden" received mixed reviews upon its release but has since become a classic work of literature. It has been adapted into several films and has influenced other artists and writers.
