1913127081913. New York: The Century Company 1913. 1 page undated ads. Original light green cloth decorated in dark green and black with dust jacket. First Edition of London's prizefighting tale about "a white backwoods giant who would rather read Browning than slug his opponents" Sinclair prompted by his coverage of the Johnson-Jeffries fight in Reno. The very title of this book indicates London's preoccupation with the concept of the "brute" which underlies the social behavior of men and animals alike. London had recently left Macmillan in a dispute over royalties but would find Century to be much less patient or understanding; he ultimately had to beg his former publisher to take him back. THE ABYSMAL BRUTE includes a frontispiece by Gordon Grant. This copy is in the second binding state which is identical to the first except for color and is in fine condition. The three-color pictorial dust jacket shows a man carrying a rifle with a buck slung over his shoulder; this jacket is near-fine with a couple of small chips at the top corners of the spine not affecting print.

It is a short novel and could be regarded as a novelette. It first appeared in September 1911 in Popular Magazine. In the story a successful boxer who was brought up in a log cabin and knows little of the real world begins to realize the corrupt practices in the game of boxing. In 1910 when the story was written London had become a famous writer but he was worried that he had exhausted his ideas. The Abysmal Brute was based on one of several plot outlines he bought from Sinclair Lewis an admirer of London who was at the beginning of his career. Other stories by Jack London about boxing are his novel The Game published in 1905 his short story "A Piece of Steak" of 1909 and his short story "The Mexican" of 1911. The Abysmal Brute based on the novel was made into a movie in 1923; it featured Reginald Denny as Pat Glendon Jr Mabel Julienne Scott as Maud Sangster and Hayden Stevenson as Sam Stubener. Conflict is a 1936 film based on the novel and starring John Wayne as Pat Glendon Jr Jean Rogers as Maud Sangster and Frank Sheridan as Sam Stubener.<br /><br />Becky Bess London Fleming the younger daughter of Jack and Bessie M.
