The Game by Jack London

Known for such classics as Call of the Wild and White Fang, Jack London demonstrates his breadth of writing ability in The Game. Both a love story and an analysis of the viciousness of prize fighting, London spins a brief yarn that entrances with its depth of detail and description. Torn between two passions, a woman and boxing, Joe Fleming tragically and rather unexpectedly loses both in this work written at the start of the 20th century.
