On the Makaloa Mat

di Jack London (Autore)

Zenith Maple Leaf Press, 2025

Seven vivid stories capturing the romance, tragedy, and mystery of the Pacific Islands. In On the Makaloa Mat, Jack London transports readers to the lush and alluring Hawaiian Islands, weaving together a series of interconnected tales narrated from the shaded comfort of a traditional mat. Each story—told against the backdrop of palm-fringed beaches, volcanic mountains, and the rhythms of island life—reveals the deep humanity, cultural richness, and hidden sorrows of the Pacific. Published in 1919, this short story collection reflects London's fascination with the South Seas and his keen ability to portray characters caught between tradition and change, love and loss, loyalty and betrayal. Rich in atmosphere and alive with authentic detail, these stories offer both adventure and poignant reflection on the complexities of human nature.
