He loves nature, is afraid of cities, and is shy of women. And he is a perfect fighter. Summoned from the city to consider such a prospect, cynical Sam Stubener, manager of prizefighters, is struck by the boy's extraordinary athletic grace -- and soon man and boy are off to San Francisco to take on the heavyweight world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Abysmal Brute is the story of natural grace pitted against worldly brutishness. A subtle social drama played out in the arena of sport -- in a day long before sport moved to the center of American culture -- it is also a rousing romantic tale in the tradition of one of our great storytellers. As Pat hones his skill -- and his curious style -- on one champion fighter after another, he contends for the heart of a lovely admirer and for the soul of professional boxing, whose rampant corruption his blows expose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45117039509655,"sku":"9780803279940","price":997.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780803279940.webp?v=1767272383","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-abysmal-brute-9780803279940","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
