Abstract
The article is devoted to the understanding of the creative personality problem in the novel “Martin Eden” by Jack London, combining the elements of a career novel and ‘Künstlerroman’ (“novel about the artist”), in which the prose writer portrayed objectively the life of a man of art, his psychological problems. It is ascertained that the key source of the plot conflict is the tragic discrepancy between the reality and the romantic idealization of ideas and personalities that leads the protagonist to the subsequent disappointment in ideals and to the loss of life guidelines. The main reason for the tragedy of the hero is spiritual loneliness - the reckoning that overtakes the one who dares to rise too high, to think too boldly.
