The Abysmal Brute (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780809501465)

This novel follows the rise of Pat Glendon, a skilled but naive young boxer from the wilderness, who is thrust into the corrupt world of professional boxing. As Pat navigates the sport's ruthless underbelly, his integrity and innocence are tested. London's sharp critique of the commercialization of sports blends with themes of individualism, honor, and the struggle between purity and corruption in this compelling tale.
