EL MEXICANO Y OTROS CUENTOS (LONDON, JACK)
Este volumen antológico reúne cuatro de las más memorables nouvelles de Jack London (1876-1916): El mexicano (1911), El poderío de los fuertes (1911), Samuel (1909) y El ídolo rojo (1918). La primera narración, que da título al volumen, es una poderosa historia que nos habla de Felipe Rivera, un frío y misterioso muchacho («despiadado como el acero, agudo y cortante como una espada… es el aliento de la muerte») del México prerrevolucionario de 1910. El protagonista está dispuesto a todo con tal que ayude a la revolución que ya se está preparando contra el dictador Porfirio Díaz; y para recaudar dinero a favor de su causa entra en el mundo del boxeo y se dispone a luchar contra un campeón norteamericano.
