The adventure novel Hearts of Three (1915) Jack London considered the beginning of a new direction in his work and the subject of author’s pride. The main character of the book Francis Morgan - the son of the late millionaire and a descendant of the famous pirate of the XVII century Henry Morgan - goes to Panama in search of a pirate treasure and meets there ... Henry Morgan, his distant relative, soon becomes his companion in dangerous adventures and rival in love with the beautiful and daring Leoncia.
All his love for the sea writer put in the novel “Sea Wolf” (1904). There are many magnificent seascapes filled with wind sails and dangerous, harsh seawork. Adventure romance in The Sea Wolf coexists with Nietzschean ethics: Wolf Larsen, the cynical and cruel captain of a fishing schooner, recognizes only strength and knows no compassion. At the same time, he is a longing lonely soul seeking solace from Shakespeare and Tennyson. . .
The Son of the Sun (1912) series consists of eight separate stories, but they are united by one character. The daredevil and adventurer David Grief travels around the South Sea not so much for profit, but for a love of risk, because the tropics are fraught with dangers that you would not expect from the paradise islands and serene azure sea.
