Description
En Jamaica, a mediados del siglo XIX, los cinco hijos de la familia inglesa Bas-Thornton y los dos de la familia criolla Fernández viven en «una especie de paraíso». Pero, después de que un terremoto y un huracán hayan reducido a escombros las posesiones de sus familias, son enviados a Inglaterra para su educación. Durante el trayecto, el barco en que viajan es abordado por unos piratas y los niños se encuentran accidentalmente «secuestrados»; sus captores, sin embargo, distan de ser rudos y desalmados marineros y se resignan a navegar con esa inesperada compañía. Huracán en Jamaica ha conservado intacta la temible sugestión de ser una de las novelas más perturbadoras sobre la crueldad infantil, cuya influencia en otros clásicos como El señor de las moscas es indudable.
