| Summary |
"De Ongelikte Beer" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a character named Pat Glendon, who is being groomed to become a heavyweight boxing champion by his manager, Sam Stubener, and his father, the former boxer Old Pat Glendon. The themes of the book explore the gritty world of professional boxing, personal ambition, and the challenges that Pat faces as he transitions from life in the wilderness to the pressures of fame and competition in the boxing ring. At the start of the novel, we meet Sam Stubener, a boxing manager who receives an intriguing letter about a promising heavyweight named Pat Glendon, trained by the legendary Old Pat Glendon. As Sam investigates, he learns about Pat's remarkable skills and unique upbringing in the wilds of Northern California. The narrative introduces us to the old boxer, who is immensely proud of his son’s natural talents and his upbringing free from the corruption often associated with the boxing world. As Sam travels to find young Pat, there is an underlying sense of anticipation for what lies ahead as the stage is set for Pat’s debut in professional boxing and the inevitable clash between his natural instincts and the harsh realities of the sport.
