by Jack London
'Abysmal Brute' Summary
Orphaned at a young age, Pat Glendon was raised in the untamed wilderness of Northern California by his father, a former prizefighter. Lacking formal education, Pat possesses a raw, untamed strength and an innocence that is at odds with the brutal world of professional boxing. Despite his natural talent and the tutelage of his father, Pat faces numerous obstacles in his journey to the heavyweight championship. His unwavering determination is tested by corrupt managers, unscrupulous opponents, and the seductive allure of a life outside the ring. Along the way, he encounters a young woman named Helen Sterling, whose unwavering belief in his goodness becomes a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. However, as Pat ascends the ranks of boxing, he grapples with the moral complexities of the sport, the toll it takes on his body and soul, and the inevitable confrontations with his inner demons.Book Details
