| Summary |
"Aarnihauta ja muita juttuja" by H. G. Wells is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book includes various tales that blend adventure with elements of fantasy and mystery, likely featuring characters who embark on expeditions and encounter extraordinary circumstances, particularly in unknown or exotic locales. At the start of "Aarnihauta," two men, Evans and Hooker, are navigating a boat toward a rich jungle where they believe a hidden treasure lies. The narrative paints a vivid picture of their anticipation and the natural beauty surrounding them, as well as hints at previous interactions involving a mysterious Chinese man and the allure of lost gold. Their excitement is tempered by exhaustion and thirst, leading them to discover more than they bargained for as they find a dead Chinese man alongside the treasure, setting the stage for a thrilling and dark twist in their adventurous quest.
