The Sea Wolf

Set against the backdrop of San Francisco Bay, the narrative begins with a character reflecting on his visits to Charley Furuseth's summer cottage in Mill Valley. Charley, a man who prefers the city hustle over summer leisure, influences the narrator's decision to venture out on a January Monday morning. The story captures the contrast between the serene landscape of Mount Tamalpais and the bustling life of the city, while also hinting at deeper philosophical themes through Charley's affinity for Nietzsche and Schopenhauer.
