With some parallels to Melville's Billy Budd, Jack London's The Sea-Wolf is a psychological sea story. Humphrey Van Weyden, a literary critic, survives an ocean collision only to come under the dominance of Wolf Larsen, the powerful and amoral sea captain who rescues him, then both bullies him and nurtures him. Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA.
