Part II 
A few months after Martin had started to educate himself, he had to go to sea again as all 
his money was spent. He went as a sailor on a ship that was going to the South Sea. 
The captain of the ship had a complete Shakespeare, which he never read. Martin had 
washed his clothes for him and in return was allowed to read the books. For a time all the 
world took the form of Shakespearean tragedy or comedy; even Martin's thoughts were 
expressed in the language of Shakespeare. This trained his ear and gave him a feeling for 
good English. 
The eight months were spent well; he learned to understand Shakespeare and speak 
correctly, and what was most important, he learned much about himself. Now he knew 
that he could do more than he had done. He wanted to show Ruth the beauty of the South 
Sea and decided to do it in his letters. 
And then the great idea came to him. He would describe the beauty of the world not only 
for Ruth but for other people as well. He could do it. He would be one of the eyes through 
which the world saw, one of the ears through which the world heard, one of the hearts 
through which it felt. He would be a writer. He would write – everything – poetry and 
prose, novels and descriptions, and plays like Shakespeare. There was career and the way 
to win Ruth. 
For the first time he saw the aim of his life, and saw it in the middle of the great sea. 
Martin decided to begin writing when he comes back. He would describe the voyage to the 
South Sea and sell it to some San Francisco newspaper. He would go on studying, and 
then, after some time, when he had learned and prepared himself, he would write great 
things. 
Part III 
When Martin Eden returned to San Francisco, he began to write. He sent his works to 
newspapers and magazines, but the editors sent his manuscripts back. Martin continued to 
write and study at the same time. 
Martin lived in a small room where he slept, studied, wrote and cooked his meals. Before 
the window there was the kitchen table that served as desk and library. The bed occupied 
two-thirds of the room. Martin slept five hours; only a man in very good health could work 
for nineteen hours a day. He never lost a moment. On the looking-glass were lists of 
words: when he was shaving or combing his hair, he learned these words. Some lists were 
on the wall over the kitchen table, and he studied them while he was cooking or washing 
the dishes. New lists were always put there in place of the old ones. Every new word he 
met in his reading was marked and later put down on paper and pinned to the wall or

looking-glass. He even carried them in his pockets and looked them through in the street 
or in the shop. 
The weeks passed. All Martin's money was spent and publishers continued to send his 
manuscripts back. Day by day he worked on and day by day the postman delivered to him 
his manuscripts. He had no money for stamps, so the manuscripts lay on the floor under 
the table. Martin pawned his overcoat, then his watch. 
One morning the postman brought him a short thin envelope. There was no manuscript in 
that envelope, therefore, Martin thought, they had taken the story. It was "The Ring of 
Bells". In the letter the editor of a San Francisco magazine said that the story was good. 
They would pay the author five dollars for it. And he would receive the check when the 
story was published.
