Opis

On August 10, 1856, the Gulf of Mexico reared up and hurled itself over Last Island, near New Orleans. The storm essentially split the island in half and swept much of it away. Lafcadio Hearn used these basic historical facts to create Chita. Originally published in 1889, this novella is a minor masterpiece that is by turns mysterious, mesmerizing, and tragic.
