"Martin Eden" by Jack London

I finished Martin Eden about three days ago for the second time. It's always been one of my favorite novels. Everything about this book is painful and lovely at the same time. Martin's first encounter with Ruth, and his love towards her was the beginning of the biggest changes in Martin. for everybody, he was just an unemployed daydreamer, but he managed to be one of the most famous writers. it was sad to see Martin realizing that even Ruth never believed in him. and the episode where Ruth came to Martin for forgiveness just broke my heart. I wouldn't even imagine that she was able to tell lies to Martin's face too easily about how she came to him alone and secretly. poor Martin, he fighted non-stop for nothing. it was hard to read about his apathy to his success after years of waiting. I blame Martin only for one thing: I guess he could run away with Lizzie Connolly, forget about everything and start a new life. but he choose something unusual.. the ending was just unexpected. it's my second time that I finished it but every time I read the ending, I feel depressed..

what can I say more? absolutely perfect book. if you haven't read, I highly recommend it.
