The stories in this collection are united by the theme of passions that completely overwhelm men and can destroy even the strongest: risk, gambling, and alcohol. The hero of "The Fierce Beast" is boxer Pat Glendon, a youth of pure and noble soul raised in the wilderness, unaware of the dirty tricks his cunning manager is pulling behind his back. "The Game," based on true events, is the dramatic and tense story of another young boxer, Joe, and his beautiful fiancée, Genevieve. They are passionately in love, and their wedding is coming soon. But before they marry and retire from the ring, Joe must fight one last match, which, if won, will bring him a large sum of money. The last match! And the third story is a surprisingly honest confession from London, dedicated to his long-standing struggle with John Barleycorn, who has tormented him since his youth. In this struggle there were successes and failures, temporary victories and new defeats...
