A vén halász meséi és egyéb történetek
Részlet az e-könyvből: ""Fáradtan hallgattam az öreg Kohokumu szakadatlan énekét; Polinéziának prométheuszi félistenéről dalolt, cselekedeteiről és kalandjairól, Mauriról, aki elválasztotta a szárazföldet a tenger mélységeitől, felemelte a menny boltozatát, mert az emberek csak négykézláb mászkálhattak alatta, és megállásra kényszerítette a napot, hogy aztán lassabban vonuljon az égen keresztül. Úgy látszik, a nap azelőtt a hatórai munkaidő híve volt, Maui pedig a tizenkét órás munkanap felett őrködött.
– Íme, hallja Liliuokalani király meséjét Mauriról – szólt Kohokumu.
„Maui, a nyughatatlan, hurkot vetett a Napnak, és harcolt vele. A tél pedig legyőzte a Napot, és Maui legyőzte a nyarat.”
Én, a Hawaii-szigetek szülötte, jobban ismertem a hawaii mítoszokat, mint az öreg halász, bár nem volt olyan nagyszerű az emlékezetem, mint az övé, amely lehetővé tette, hogy órák hosszat mondja el énekeit..."

The Call of the Wild
The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated and even somewhat pampered dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events finds him serving as a sled dog in the treacherous, frigid Yukon during the days of the 19th century Klondike Gold Rushes.Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is one of London's most-read books, and it is generally considered one of his best. Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence.London followed the book in 1906 with White Fang, a companion novel with many similar plot elements and themes as The Call of the Wild, although following a mirror image plot in which a wild wolf becomes civilized by a mining expert from San Francisco named Weedon Scott.
