In a San Francisco club, talk of a dead young boxer leads an old miner to recall a woman he met in the Alaskan wilderness who had gone wild by choice. The collection that follows runs from a bullfight in Quito to a homing-pigeon blackmail chase by aeroplane, a bare-knuckle bout, a scout in an unnamed war and a boxer funding the Mexican revolution.
London’s range in miniature, and home to The Mexican, one of his most admired stories. Download the free EPUB.
