NOTES
"The Red One" is a 1918 short story by Jack London. The story revolves around Bassett, a scientist collecting butterflies in the jungle of Guadalcanal. When he accidentally discovered a large red sphere worshipped by the local natives, he forgets about his original aim and becomes fatally obsessed with the strange object. Highly recommended for lovers of London's work, "The Red One" is not to be missed by fans of early science fiction and the short story form in general
