Aprašymas
Full text.
A collection of eight short stories set in and around the South Pacific, by Jack London.
Quote: "The whole population, with the priests at the head, tried vainly for three months to pray him to death. [...] But McAllister lived on. His health was superb. He never caught fever; nor coughs nor colds; dysentery passed him by; and the malignant ulcers and vile skin diseases that attack blacks and whites alike in that climate never fastened upon him. He must have been so saturated with alcohol as to defy the lodgment of germs. I used to imagine them falling to the ground in showers of microscopic cinders as fast as they entered his whiskey-sodden aura. No one loved him, not even germs, while he loved only whiskey, and still he lived."
