Om denne bog

Of all sports, boxing has been the writers' favorite. Maybe it's because of his need for persistence and resilience, perhaps for the narratives of victory and defeat, perhaps even for the relatable solitude of the boxer who faces his challenge in the ring; boxing has inspired large pieces of fiction that enchanted generations.

Through the eyes of consecrated authors you will meet the passionate world of boxing, in this seven short stories selected by Augst Nemo:

A Piece of Steak by Jack London

The Mexican by Jack London

The Croxley Master by Arthur Conan Doyle

Champion by Ring Lardner

Alleys of Peril by Robert E. Howard

Blow the Chinks Down! by Robert E. Howard

Breed of Battle by Robert E. Howard
