This story will not come as a surprise to anyone who has read London's classic "To Build a Fire." (I don't think I'm giving too much away by stating that.) I chose to read this because I had been led to believe it was a "lost world" story, but in fact I wouldn't classify it as such. There is a cannibalistic tribe cut off from all outside contact with the world, sure, and there is a supernatural element, but it doesn't build enough of a "lost world" to qualify as such in my book. But then again, after reflection, the story was much more in keeping with Jack London's usual plot and philosophy, so I really can't fault it. Read this story, along with a number of other pulp fiction works written in 1918 that had 'lost world' themes' for a meeting of the Reading Genres book club. This meeting was devoted to the theme "1918" -- books written about events in 1918 or written in 1918.

Un naturalista impegnato nello studio della fauna di Guadalcanal viene incuriosito da un suono celestiale che percorre tutta l'isola e spinto dalla voglia di conoscerne l'origine si addentra nel folto della foresta dove inizierà per lui la fine, i cacciatori di teste e la malaria lo attendono ma con sè anche la scoperta del sapere totale. Di ció parla questa breve novella di appena 62 pagine che racchiude un London che non avevo mai "incontrato". Cupo, lugubre, disperato, dai toni mesti, questo racconto di fantascienza si avvicina molto di più alla scrittura Lofcraftiana che alla classica a cui ci ha abituato London. Un racconto piacevole che scivola via sotto gli occhi e che verso il finale non tralascia di proporre anche piccoli spunti di riflessione, peccato solo la sua brevità, una storia come questa si sarebbe prestata con piacere a sviluppi molto più articolati.
