描写兽性般残忍和利己主义的长篇小说。写一个作家因海难被魔鬼号船长海狼救起，被迫跟随他去日本海一带捕猎海豹。该小说塑造了一个手腕强硬，性格果断的极富个性的船长形象，书中描写的海上旅行，更是引人入胜，紧张惊险、扣人心弦。海狼拉尔森是一个返祖现象的极好例子，一个纯粹原始的人，是那种在人类演化出道德天性之前便来到人世的人”，反映19世纪末20世纪初误把达尔文进化论简单运用于人类社会的思潮。小说中的“狼”不仅是船长莱森的名字，对作者而言，还是超人的代名词，显示了作者的“适者生存”的社会进化论思想和尼采式“超人”哲学观念。

Then everything happened very fast．The fog seemed to break．The bow of aIarge ship could now be seen． I could see the pilothouse and a white-haired manleaning out of it．He wore a blue uniform and was very quiet．But his quietness wasterrible．He seemed to want to determine exactly when the two ships would crash．He did not notice when our pilot shouted．“NOW you have done it”

“Hold on to something now．”the red-faced man said to me．He also seemedcalm．“And Iisten to the women scream．”

The ships crashed together before I could follow his advice：The Martinezleaned over and there was a crashing and tearing of wood．1 was thrown to the wetdeck and I heard the screams of the women． What happened in the next fewminutes l do not remember． But the sounds the women made reminded me of thesounds pigs make when they are killed．

These women，SO tender and SO capable of sympathy，were openmouthed andscreaming．They wanted to live；they could not help themselves，and they screamed．

一切都来得太快了。雾这时好像散了。我看到了一艘大船的船头，还能看到操舵室，一个白头发的人从里面探出身来。他身穿蓝色制服，异常安静。可他安静得令人害怕。他好像是在测算这两艘船到底什么时候相撞。 “这下可完蛋了!”我们的驾驶员大声喊叫着，可他并没有注意。

“赶快抓紧点什么东西，把住!”那红脸汉对我说道。他看上去也很镇静。“听吧，女人们要尖叫了。”

我还没来得及抓住什么东西时，两艘船已经撞在一起了。 “玛第内姿”号船身倾斜，木板也被撞碎了。我被甩到了甲板上，甲板上满是海水。我还听到女人们的尖叫声。几分钟后发生了什么事情，我就不记得了。但女人们发出的声音让我想到了猪被宰杀时的嘶叫声。

这些弱小的、可怜的女人，惊恐地呼叫着。她们想活下去，可她们却无力互助，只能无奈地惊叫。P4
