The Abysmal Brute

Jack London · 1913

Classic Literature · Boxing · Sports Fiction

Raised in the Sierra wilderness by his old prizefighter father, Pat Glendon is a heavyweight of freakish natural power and no appetite at all for the ring. Pulled down into a fight game rotten with fixed bouts and easy money, he keeps his innocence just long enough to expose the whole racket - and to win the newspaperwoman who watched him do it.
