This book is dear to me. Personally I liked the Jack London's novel Martin Eden! It greatly appealed to me! I was touched to the heart... I think that Martin committed suicide because he did not see the aim to continue leaving in the world he had got accustomed to, firstly he jumped into the water- thought to get on board again- but then he gave a sarcastic smile to the whole world, full of snobs and careerists ... he was sorry to had been working, writing for them to read, and found it to be a disgrace... These little people just did not deserve to be the witnesses of his works. Unfortunately he understood it too late to change- it was too late- he cracked himself- he gave the life into their disposal and available to be discussed! It is unfair and this story rang true to me, I read it with an open heart and I regretted too much that I cannot back him or help living in another world, century, country, living another life...! The world is as crazy as it has always been- it’s not in my power to change it! But Martin protested against the society it some way, though it is not my way to struggle. Reading of this story was a worth experience. It was one of the keys to the door called society to open realizing its real nature.
