Viimeinen ottelu (The Game)

Viimeinen ottelu (The Game)

by Jack London

”Viimeinen ottelu” seuraa ammattilaisnyrkkeilijä Jack Robertsonia, joka kamppailee alkoholismin ja peliriippuvuuden kanssa. Hänen uransa on laskussa, ja hän on menettämässä kaiken: perheensä, ystävänsä ja maineensa. Robertsonia houkuttelee viimeinen ottelu, joka voi palauttaa hänelle kaiken, mutta riski on suuri. Kirja on tarina toivosta, epätoivosta, taisteluista ja lopulta itsensä löytämisestä. Se kuvaa vahvasti urheilun synkkiä puolia ja ihmisen kykyä nousta alas syvästäkin kuopasta.
