"The Abysmal Brute" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores themes of innocence and the brutal reality of professional boxing through the lens of its main character, Young Pat Glendon, the son of a former fighter, who is managed by Sam Stubener. As Young Pat embarks on his journey in the harsh world of the boxing ring, he embodies both the physical prowess inherited from his father and the naivety of someone raised in the wilderness, untouched by the corruption of the sport. At the start of the story, we meet Sam Stubener, an experienced fight manager, as he receives a mysterious letter about Young Pat Glendon, a new talent described as immensely strong and skilled. The opening chapters follow Stubener's journey to discover Pat and his father, Pat Glendon Sr., who has been living a reclusive life in the mountains. Once the young fighter enters the ring, initial impressions reveal his unrefined nature and the skepticism around his abilities. However, as Sam Stubener begins to manage him, they both must navigate the complexities of fame, the expectations of the fighting community, and the eventual uncovering of the sport's darker underbelly, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of character and integrity in professional boxing.
