Gợi ý:

Recently I've read a book "The Sea Wolf" by Jack London. It's a novel. The story is set on a sealer owned by a cruel and strong captain. Wolf Larsen with two other characters, Van Weyden, a literature reseacher and a woman writer Maud Brewster. Through the whole story, it can be said the true love and charity can defeat the cruelty. In a word; the true love always wins. This book is a very interesting novel which evokes in our depth a human feeling about the strength of love.
