Krátky popis
On the eve of their wedding, twenty-year-old Jack Fleming arranges
a secret ringside seat for his sweetheart to view her only rival:
the "game." Through Genevieve's apprehensive eyes, we watch the
prizefight that pits her fair young lover, "the Pride of West
Oakland," against the savage and brutish John Ponta and that
reveals as much about her own nature, and Joe's, as it does about
the force that drives the two men in their violent, fateful
encounter. Responding to a review that took him to task for his
realism, Jack London wrote, "I have had these experiences and it
was out of these experiences, plus a fairly intimate knowledge of
prize-fighting in general, that I wrote The Game." With this
intimate realism, London took boxing out of the realm of
disreputable topics and set it on a respectable literary course
that extends from A. J. Liebling to Ernest Hemingway to Joyce Carol
Oates. The familiarity of London's boxing writing testifies to its
profound influence on later literary commentators on the sport,
while the story The Game tells remains one of the most powerful and
evocative portraits ever given of prizefighters in the grip of
their passion.
