Published in 1905, this is a riveting tale of a boxing match between twenty-year-old Jack Fleming and his thuggish rival John Ponta, as seen through the eyes of Jack’s fiancé, Genevieve. Notable for its stark realism, this short novel single-handedly, as it were, elevated the subject of boxing to literary respectability.

A propos de l’auteur
Jack London (1876-1916) was born in San Francisco, the illegitimate son of a music teacher whose lover spurned her after she refused an abortion. His writings dealt with his social activism and care for the worker. Largely self-educated, London became a sailor, a hobo, a gold miner, and a socialist—all of which would find their way into his fiction.
