Synopsis "Koolau el Leproso (in Spanish)"

«Son los soldados dijo Koolau. Mañana empezará la lucha. Conviene dormir y prepararse. Los leprosos obedecieron y se arrastraron hacia sus guaridas en los precipicios. Koolau se quedó solo, sentado, inmóvil bajo la luz de la Luna, con el rifle cruzado sobre las rodillas.» Cuando los «hombres blancos» deciden confinarles en la leprosería de Molokai, Koolau y los suyos resuelven enfrentarse en una isla salvaje del Pacífico a la partida de soldados que pretende apresarles. La tenacidad y la astucia de Koolau le llevarán, incluso en las condiciones más adversas, a mantener una lucha sin tregua para defender su vida y su dignidad. Koolau el leproso es una de las historias más emocionantes de Jack London y contiene los mejores atributos de su espléndida narrativa.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
