 | | Larsen was born and bred on the sea. | | | Wolfs thinks of himself as godly, where as the rest of his crew would compare him to no other than Lucifer himself. | | | London is never clear on what exactly kills Wolf Larsen, but it is deeply implied that a brain tumor slowing eats away at him taking away his senses one by one. |

| | The Sea-Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Jack London insisted that The Sea-Wolf was "an attack on Nietzsche's super-man philosophy." But somehow Wolf Larsen gets all the good lines, and he, not Hump, is the hero of the book. | | | The Sea Wolf (1941), starring Edward G. Robinson and Ida Lupino: its premiere was held on board the ship S.S. America, a decision described in 2004 by the magazine Total Film as the 3rd "dumbest decision in movie history"; | | | Nevertheless, Jack was called "Wolf" by his close friends, used a picture of a wolf on his bookplate, and named his mansion "Wolf House." One may be excused for imagining that the autodidact sailor Wolf Larsen bears some resemblance to the autodidact sailor Jack London. |

| | The Sea-Wolf |
| | Wolf Larsen was unaffected by the drink, yet he drank glass for glass, and, if anything, his glasses were fuller. | | | The captain, or Wolf Larsen, as men called him, ceased pacing, and gazed down at the dying man. So fierce had this final struggle become that the sailor paused in the act of flinging more water over him, and stared curiously, the canvas bucket partly tilted and dripping its contents to the deck. | | | Wolf Larsen did not laugh, though his gray eyes lighted with a slight glint of amusement; and in that moment, having stepped forward quite close to him, I received my first impression of the man himself—of the man as apart from his body and from the torrent of blasphemy I had heard. |

| | The Sea Wolf by Jack London: A searchable online version at The Literature Network |
| | A thrilling epic of a sea voyage and a complex novel of ideas, The Sea-Wolf is a standard-bearer of its genre. | | | Although, Wolf Larsen (as said in the book) was made well by god and I probably wouldn't care if he was such a jerk, I think I'd like him. | | | In the early chapters the narrator implies that Wolf Larsen was quite attractive to women, that they would forget about morals and succumb to his charms. |

| | The Sea Wolf - CHAPTER XXV |
| | The Macedonia was now but a mile away, the black smoke pouring from her funnel at a right angle, so madly she raced, pounding through the sea at a seventeen-knot gait - "'Sky-hooting through the brine," as Wolf Larsen quoted while gazing at her. | | | "Drop it!" Wolf Larsen cried, and the hunter dropped it as though it were hot and had burned him. | | | Wolf Larsen was steering, his eyes glistening and snapping as they dwelt upon and leaped from detail to detail of the chase. |

| | Amazon.com: The Sea Wolf (1941) : Video |
| | Jack London's exciting tale of the sea and of the nefarious Captain Wolf Larsen makes for a riveting, atmospheric high-seas adventure. | | | THE SEA WOLF, on the other hand, was too gloomy, slow moving and buried in the fog for me. I also think that Ida Lupino's role wasn't right for her. | | | This rather underrated film which was directed by the notoriously tyrannical Hungarian Michael Curtiz is definitely worth viewing: THE SEA WOLF remains a rip-roaring action film which gives berth to both high adventure and intelligent characterisations - a classic of its kind. |

| | If Native American tales are to be believed, the waters near British Columbia are home to a creature they called Sea Wolf, sisiutl, wasgo, haietlik, or any of several other names; this creature is unique among cryptids by having been a totem animal of several tribes, an honor shared only with the Thunderbird. | | | As a final note, depictions of what may be the same animal as the Sea-Wolf have been found as far south as the Nazca Plain, in Peru. | | | One of the famous "Nazca lines" depicts a whale-like sea monster, complete with two forelimbs, crocodilian snout, and large eyes. |
