Alla scoperta di una verità celata al centro della giungla, tra spietati cacciatori di teste e il misterioso e adorato Dio Rosso.
Bassett, uno scienziato naturalista, si trova impegnato nell’Oceano Pacifico in una spedizione nell’oscura giungla dell’isola di Guadalcanal per raccogliere farfalle. Qui sente un suono magnifico e struggente che si propaga dalla foresta fin sulla spiaggia dove è sbarcato. Bassett si mette così alla ricerca dell’origine di quel suono ma viene catturato dai nativi, spietati cacciatori di teste. Qui scopre che i selvaggi adorano un qualcosa di misterioso di origine sconosciuta e al quale compiono sacrifici umani. Così Bassett scopre l’esistenza del Dio Rosso, ne diventa ossessionato tanto che alla fine rischierà tutto per scoprire la verità celata al centro della giungla.

John Griffith Chaney, better known as Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist and activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction.
London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of animal rights, workers’ rights and socialism. London wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam.
His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in Alaska and the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen".
