The Red One

Více o knize

Set in the jungle of Guadalcanal, the narrative follows scientist Bassett on a butterfly-collecting expedition, where he encounters a mysterious giant red sphere worshipped by local natives as a deity. This "Red One" is linked to themes of alien civilizations and lost messages, suggesting a connection to both Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and Carl Jung's psychological insights. As Bassett's obsession grows, he ultimately becomes a victim of the very sacrifice he sought to understand, blending elements of adventure, existential inquiry, and the supernatural.
