Beskrivelse
'The Red One' is a short story by Jack London. The Red One was first printed in the October 1918 issue of The Cosmopolitan, two years after London's death. The base of the story is about extra-terrestrial origin of red sphere and is worshipped by people as they perform sacrifices. This story whirls around Bassett, a scientist collecting butterflies in the jungle of Guadalcanal. When he incidentally by chance discovered a large red sphere worshipped by the local people, he forgets about his original aim and becomes obsessed with the Red One and in the end he sacrificed himself.
