Transcribed from the 1919 Mills and Boon edition by David Price "The Red One" by Jack London is a fictional novella published in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the protagonist, Bassett, a naturalist who becomes increasingly obsessed with the source of a powerful and mysterious sound he hears on the island of Guadalcanal. As he delves deeper into the jungle, Bassett encounters perilous situations, including violent confrontations with indigenous tribes and harrowing personal struggles, all while driven by the need to uncover the origins of the alluring sound known as the Red One. At the start of the story, Bassett is deeply immersed in his thoughts as he reflects on the enigma of the sound that reverberates through the island. We learn about his journey into dense jungles, the death of his companion Sagawa, and his precarious encounters with the natives who threaten his life. As he navigates through his fever-induced delirium and battles against the unrelenting jungle elements, the narrative also introduces Balatta, a bushwoman who intriguingly becomes involved in his fate. The tone oscillates between the beauty of nature and the savagery of the world Bassett finds himself in, setting the stage for a profound exploration of human instinct, survival, and the quest for knowledge.
