Texas Matchmaker-Andy Adams

from Abysmal Brute Hosted by Jack London

Young Pat Glendon is twenty-two years old, weighs two-hundred and twenty pounds, has never drunk alcohol nor tasted tobacco and knows little of city life. He’s all muscle, moves with cat-like grace and possesses great stamina and strength acquired from living natural in the wilds of northern California with his father. Young Pat is a natural at prize-fighting. In addition to his brawn he has speed and a natural instinct for the sport. His father, a former heavyweight prize-fighter himself, has trained Young Pat and believes it is time for the boy to take on the heavyweight world. But being in poor health, the elder Glendon enlists Sam Stubener of San Francisco to be the boy’s manager with instructions to protect the boy from the rottenness of the sport. Jack London’s The Abysmal Brute is a story about naivete and natural athleticism against the brutishness and corruption of professional boxing, intertwined with a touching romance. This novel was twice made into movies: The Abysmal Brute (1923) and Conflict (1936), the latter starring John Wayne as Young Pat Glendon.

The Game Jack London Jack London wrote at least four stories about boxing; A Piece of Steak (1909), The Mexican (1911), The Abysmal Brute (1911), and The Game (1905). The Game is told, in part, from the point of view of a woman, the fiancée of one of the competitors. This is to be his last fight and they are to be married on the morrow. Against her better judgment, she agrees to watch the bout. (Introduction by Tom Crawford) Sans filtre tofikaitb Je m’appelle Tofik Ait Boussouf. J’ai traversé des épreuves, la maladie, la fatigue invisible… mais j’ai appris à trouver de la lumière même dans l’obscurité. Sans Filtre, c’est le podcast où je partage mon parcours avec la sarcoïdose et tout ce que la vie met sur notre chemin. Ici, pas de façade, pas de faux semblants : juste la vie telle qu’elle est, avec ses moments de doute et ses victoires. Pourquoi ce podcast ? Pour parler à ceux qui galèrent, à ceux qui se sentent seuls face à un poids invisible, et à tous ceux qui veulent une dose de vérité brute. On y parle de résilience, de combat quotidien et de la force qu’on trouve quand on décide de ne plus rien cacher. Parce qu’au fond, malgré tout, la vie est belle et le ciel est bleu. Bienvenue dans Sans Filtre. The Apothecary's Dao Serum Writes Lin Chen was a pharmacist. Then he died on a double shift and woke up in a cultivation world — muddy spiritual roots, a herb-garden punishment assignment, and eight years of pharmacology as his only cheat.The Apothecary's Dao is a cozy xianxia fiction podcast — a progression fantasy about method over brute force, where cultivation runs on dosage curves, failed experiments, and the quiet art of making better pills. No chosen one, no arrogant young master — just a broke outer-sect disciple applying double-blind thinking to alchemy in a world that brews by tradition and gut feeling. Cozy fantasy for readers who like their xianxia with lab notes.New chapters weekly. Read along free on Royal Road and Wattpad, or start from the hub: serumwrites.com.
