The story of a sailor who fell in love with a high-society girl and became a writer for her sake. He achieved fame, but lost both love and himself: success didn't save him from loneliness, and the world he longed for proved alien.

Jack London created the character and story of his hero while sailing, so the sea plays a significant role in the book. He based Martin Eden on himself, and Ruth on his first love. The novel captivated readers so much that, after a while, the term "Martin Eden syndrome" emerged in psychology.

Martin was content with his life, unaware of the talents he harboured. He would set sail, then spend every penny, and then search again for a vessel to work on. Everything changed when Martin met Ruth and fell head over heels in love. To win her affection, he decides to break into the world of literature. But can success bring happiness?
