Cryptic. The mage Wang Lung is in love with the Empress, So Ling; but the Empress is married to the Emperor, and the Royal wants to take over the throne. I'm sure this short story is plagued with symbolism, metaphors and whatnot, because I pretty much didn't understand a thing. Also really not fan of the style of writing; overly descriptive, hard to follow and overall uninteresting. Some interesting scenes near the end though. -----------------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTE
: [1960] [18p] [Fiction] [1.5] [Not Recommendable] ----------------------------------------------- ★★☆☆☆ Antología del Cuento Cubano II ----------------------------------------------- Críptico. El mago Wang Lung está enamorado de la Emperatriz So Ling; pero la Emperatriz está casada con el Emperador, y el Real quiere hacerse con el trono. Estoy seguro de que este cuento corto está plagado de simbolismos, metáforas y dios sabe que más, porque como que no entendí un joraca. Tampoco me gustó mucho el estilo de escritura; demasiado descriptiva, difícil de seguir y por sobre todo poco interesante. Aunque hubo algunos momentos interesantes cerca del final. -----------------------------------------------

Unexpectedly Good. Edith and Hans Nelson are a newlywed couple settling in Alaska, working the land and searching for gold. Along with Harkey, Dennin and Dutchy they form a hard-working and efficient partnership, gaining plenty of riches in very successful season. Then the unexpected occurs. This was a great Gold Rush short story and one of the finest I’ve read by Jack London. I especially enjoyed the discourse about life and living by the expected and unexpected. Also cool learning about Alaska’s involvement during the Klondike Gold Rush era. The plot was decently plotted and well carried out. Never saw the unexpected coming; and enjoyed plenty all the buildup tension between Edith, Hans and Dennin until the final resolution. Overall a fine short story, with memorable quotes and moments. An almost-fav. Recommendable. It’s public domain. You can find it HERE. -----------------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTE
: [1900] [20p] [Classics] [3.5] [Recommendable] ----------------------------------------------- ★★★★☆ Too Much Gold and Other Stories ★★★☆☆ El hombre de la cicatriz y otras narraciones ----------------------------------------------- Inesperadamente Bueno. Edith y Hans Nelson son una pareja de recién casados asentándose en Alaska, trabajando la tierra y buscando oro. Junto con Harkey, Dennin y Dutchy, forman una sociedad eficiente y trabajadora, obteniendo muchas riquezas en una temporada muy exitosa. Entonces ocurre lo inesperado. Este fue un gran cuento corto de la Fiebre del Oro y uno de los mejores que he leído de Jack London. Disfruté especialmente el discurso sobre la vida y vivir según lo esperado e inesperado. También interesante aprender sobre la participación de Alaska durante la era de la Fiebre del Oro del Klondike. La trama estuvo decentemente diseñada y bien llevada a cabo. Nunca vi venir lo inesperado; y disfruté mucho de toda la tensión acumulada entre Edith, Hans y Dennin hasta la resolución final. Dentro de todo una genial historia corta, con momentos y citas memorables. Una casi favorita. Recomendable. Es dominio público, lo pueden encontrar ACA. -----------------------------------------------

Luck is fickle. Kink Mitchell and Hootchinoo Bill are two gold prospectors during the Gold Rush era, extensively traveling the lands in search for that elusive precious metal, without much success sadly. It all changes when they hear about a new mining-town called “Dawson”. A reasonably acceptable Gold Rush short story; not good, nor bad, just ok, and add some. I particularly enjoyed the ending jab, and learning a bit about “Dawson”. It’s public domain. You can find it HERE. -----------------------------------------------

Kink Mitchell y Hootchinoo Bill son dos buscadores de oro durante la era de la Fiebre del Oro, viajando extensamente por las tierras en busca de ese escurridizo metal precioso, lamentablemente sin mucho éxito. Todo cambia cuando se enteran de un nuevo pueblo minero llamado "Dawson". Un cuento razonablemente aceptable sobre la Fiebre del Oro; no bueno, ni malo, simplemente ok, más un poco. Disfruté especialmente el toque final, y aprender un poco sobre “Dawson”. Es dominio público, lo pueden encontrar ACA. -----------------------------------------------
