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 fortyfivefoot ketch Snark, 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 novel Martin Eden and numerous short stories, but also a series of sketches recording the voyage itself. These entertaining pieces, collected together into the book he called The Cruise of the Snark, reveal Londons indefatigable spirit and love of adventure at sea and among the Pacific islands. This edition also includes London's delightful sea pieces 'That Dead Men Rise Up Never' and 'The Joy of SmallBoat Sailing.'For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
