Um bom livro de contos que nos transporta para os mares do Sul e nos leva a viver várias aventuras sempre com o mar como pano de fundo.
Estes foram tempos duros e violentos e as aventuras que Jack London nos conta são tão exóticas e diferentes quan
"La misión del hombre blanco es colonizar el mundo y bastante tiene con eso. ¿Cree que le queda tiempo para entender a los negros?"
Me han encantado estos relatos de ficción histórica situados en Hawaii u otras islas colonizadas. Son un retrato fantástico de la colonización y sus efectos adversos, po
I sometimes wonder what makes a great short story. Seems like many authors think it is to push the story forward, to streamline the story so that it is a real page turner.
