Abstract: Martin Eden is Jack London’s semi-autobiographical novel. The hero Martin Eden is a diligent, honest and perseverant poor sailor. The novel describes his pursuit of his dream with his superman-like willpower. London has read many philosophers’ works, among which Friedrich Nietzsche exerted a great influence upon him. So a Nietzschean character Martin Eden was born. In this novel, the Nietzschean superman idea refers to the following four parts: man to be overcome, the will to power, individualist and nihilism. The first three can be found in Martin’s striving process while nihilism is embodied after his success. The achievement of his dream did not bring happiness to Martin. The success cut off his tie with the working-class and at the same time he found the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. So he lost himself, seized by nihilism immensely. Finally he chose to commit suicide as a failed Nietzschean.
Key words: Martin Eden, Nietzschean, superman, man to be overcome, the will to power, individualist, nihilism
摘要:《马丁•伊登》是杰克•伦敦的半自传体小说。小说主人公马丁伊登是一位正直, 诚实而又意志坚韧的穷小伙。小说生动讲述了他凭借自己超人般的意志力实现梦想的过程。在杰克•伦敦所涉猎的诸多哲学家的著作中，弗列德里希•尼采对他的影响尤其巨大，并由此诞生了尼采主义者的主人公马丁•伊登。在文中尼采的超人主义具体体现为超越自我,权利意志,个人主义和虚无主义。前三种我们可以从马丁•伊登的奋斗史中看到,而虚无主义表现在马丁•伊登成功后。梦想的实现并没有给他带来快乐，他的成功让他脱离了工人阶级同时又看清了资产阶级道德的虚伪，他失去了自我，被虚无主义牢牢抓住。最终他选择了自杀，以一个失败的尼采主义者的身份死去。
