Description

Jack London's Martin Eden was first published in 1909 and is the story of a young writer's quest for celebrity and love. Much loved by writers who identify with Martin's belief that when he posted a manuscript, 'there was no human editor at the other end, but a mere cunning arrangement of cogs that changed the manuscript from one envelope to another and stuck on the stamps,' that automatically returned it slapped with a rejection slip. ---------- Also contained in: - [Best of Jack London](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL144769W) - [The Collected Jack London](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15031706W/The_Collected_Jack_London) - [Novels and Social Writings](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL74447W/Novels_and_Social_Writings)
