Sobre este artículo
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1905. First Edition, second issue of London's tragic boxing tale with the magazine rubberstamp of Metropolitan Magazine Co. to the copyright page. Octavo, original cloth, pictorial endpapers, with illustrations and decorations by Henry Hutt and T. C. Lawrence. In good condition with a child's drawings to a few pages. Ownership inscriptions. One of at least four stories London wrote about boxing, The Game follows the tragic story of Joe Fleming, a twenty-year old boxer who meets his death in the ring. London worked, for a time, as a sports reporter for The Oakland Herald and based the novel on his personal observations. The book essentially made the subject of boxing a respectable literary topic.
Sinopsis

The head of the department did them the honor of waiting upon them himself or did Joe the honor, as she well knew, for she had noted the open-mouthed awe of the elevator boy who brought them up.
