Ralph Herne
Ralph Herne es uno de los primeros cuentos de Hudson, publicado en inglés por la revista Youth en forma de folletín, desde el 4 de enero al 14 de marzo de 1888. No hay traducción al español y sólo existe en el idioma original, en los 24 tomos de sus obras completas que editó Dent en 1923. Esta obra, de gran interés, describe la epidemia de fiebre amarilla que hubo en Buenos Aires en 1871, donde Ralph Herne, joven médico inglés, trabaja arduamente y desafía a este flagelo. Están los cajones que se vendían de puerta en puerta, los que navegaban por las calles convertidas en ríos en la noche de tormenta; la desesperación de la gente que moría en número impresionante y en muy breve plazo; hasta la tristeza de la ciudad vacía donde crecía el pasto en las calles.
Este cuento fue traducido por Alicia Jurado, autora de la biografía más documentada de Hudson y se podrá conocer así una de sus ficciones menos difundidas, sobre la fiebre amarilla en Buenos Aires en el siglo XIX.
