  Set in the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, The House of Mapuhi is a gripping tale of ambition, greed, and nature’s unrelenting fury. In this powerful short story by Jack London, a humble islander named Mapuhi dreams of building a fine house — a symbol of prestige and modern comfort. When he discovers an enormous, priceless pearl, he believes his dream is within reach. But the island’s harsh social dynamics and the looming threat of a devastating hurricane put everything in peril. 
  Jack London’s vivid prose and unflinching realism paint a striking portrait of life in the South Seas — where colonial forces, native desires, and the power of nature collide. Combining adventure, tragedy, and a sharp critique of materialism, this story delivers a potent blend of suspense and social commentary. 
  Ideal for listeners who enjoy sea tales, island dramas, and morally complex characters, The House of Mapuhi remains as haunting and relevant as ever.
