Synopsis "THE BOTTLE IMP (english edition) (in English)"

Keawe is a Hawaiian who feels the need to know other lands, so he goes to San Francisco (United States). There he discovers a beautiful house whose owner seems somewhat sad and emaciated. When talking to him and asking him the reason for his sadness, the old man shows him a bottle of white glass in whose interior are all the colors of the rainbow. Amazed by his beauty, the old man tells him that in that bottle inhabits a demon capable of granting any desire, except one: to extend life to a person. For that, the owner of the bottle must meet a number of requirements: sell the bottle to another person before dying or go to hell, you can only sell the bottle if the price is lower than the owner paid.

(Edimburgo, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) Novelista, cuentista, poeta y ensayista británico. Ingresó en la Universidad de Edimburgo cuando tenía dieciséis años para poder seguir los pasos de su padre y convertirse en ingeniero de faros, de lo cual desistiría. Sus estudios de náutica, le permitieron entrar en contacto con las gentes y costumbres marineras, ingredientes fundamentales en algunas de sus obras más conocidas. Su famosa obra, La Isla del tesoro, la publicó bajo el seudónimo de Captain George North en 1881. En 1886, llegaría El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura. Murió en la Isla de Samoa, en su casa, Vailima.
