{"product_id":"the-abysmal-brute-jack-london-9780803279940","title":"The Abysmal Brute","description":"Before anyone knew there was such a thing, Jack London gave us the natural: Young Pat Glendon has never drunk alcohol nor tasted tobacco. He loves nature, is afraid of cities, and is shy of women. And he is a perfect fighter. Summoned from the city to consider such a prospect, cynical Sam Stubener, manager of prize-fighters, is struck by the boy's extraordinary athletic grace--and soon man and boy are off to San Francisco to take on the heavyweight world. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Abysmal Brute\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of natural grace pitted against worldly brutishness. A subtle social drama played out in the arena of sport--in a day long before sport moved to the center of American culture--it is also a rousing romantic tale in the tradition of one of our great storytellers. As Pat hones his skill--and his curious style--on one champion fighter after another, he contends for the heart of a lovely admirer and for the soul of professional boxing, whose rampant corruption his blows expose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803279949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803279940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.35w x 0.39d","brand":"Jack London","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059752956159,"sku":"9780803279940","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f42b778-d529-45cd-b8a1-319127b40b9d.jpg?v=1685060126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-abysmal-brute-jack-london-9780803279940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
