Book Excerpt:

For she was indeed beautiful.  Springing from a long line of American descent, she was one of those wonderful working-class blooms which occasionally appear, defying all precedent of forebears and environment, apparently without cause or explanation.  She was a beauty in color,. . . Read More

Kurgu ve karakterler gayet güzel işlenmişti, bir kısa roman için karakterler yeterince derindi. Kurgu zaten kabataslak şekilde yaşanan benzer bir olaydan alınmış. Özellikle çevirmen çok iyi bir iş çıkarmış.

Brilliant, brief, powerful, and memorable. The life of a boxer in Oakland with love and passion for both spouse and work. The two desires play a powerful duo. Reading this in Oakland was especially interesting and enhanced the setting.

Τέταρτο βιβλιαράκι του Τζακ Λόντον που διαβάζω, γι'ακόμη μια φορά έμεινα ευχαριστημένος από την γραφή και το επίπεδο της σκέψης του. Οι προηγούμενες ιστορίες του συγγραφέα που έτυχε να διαβάσω διαδραματίζονταν κατά κύριο λόγο σε άγρια τοπία και είχαν στοιχεία περιπέτειας και φαντασίας, εδώ όμως έχου
