Pat Glendon is a young man who has never drank alcohol nor tasted tobacco. He is a nature-lover with a phobia of cities and talking to women. He is also the perfect fighter. After prize-fighter manager Sam Stubener takes Pat under his wing, the two set off to San Francisco to take on the world heavy-weight champion. ‘The Abysmal Brute’ is a thrilling tale of romance and social drama told by on of America’s greatest story-tellers, detailing Pats unstoppable pugilistic crusade that sees him fight for the heart of a lovely admirer and expose the rampant corruption within the world of professional boxing. John Griffith ‘Jack’ London (1876 – 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist, most remember for his novels ‘The Call of the Wild’, ‘White Fang’, ‘The Sea-Wolf’, ‘The Iron Heel’, and ‘Martin Eden’. Originally published in 1913, we are proud to reprint this classic text, complete with a new biography of the author.
