Harder They Fall

Budd Schulberg's celebrated novel of the prize ring has lost none of its power since its first publication almost fifty years ago. Crowded with unforgettable characters, it is a relentless expose of the fight racket. A modern Samson in the form of a simple Argentine peasant is ballyhooed by an unscrupulous fight promoter and his press agent - and then betrayed and destroyed by connivers. Mr. Schulberg creates a wonderfully authentic atmosphere for this book that many critics hailed as even better than What Makes Sammy Run? The wrongs of the boxing business that the book illuminates are still with us.

  • "Román amerického spisovatele (nar. 1914) čerpá z prostředí profesionálního boxingu v USA. Líčí kariéru boxera, nadaného výhradně obrovskou fyzickou silou, jenž nakonec pozná, že sloužil promotérovi pouze jako nástroj v honbě za penězi a že za svou kariéru vděčí jen jeho bezostyšným praktikám."
  • "Ce roman sur la boxe aux Etats-Unis a été écrit à la fin des années quarante. Il dénonce un sport truqué et se fait le miroir de la société américaine de l'époque."

  • "Classic story of an Argentine peasant, introduced to the world of boxing through a series of fixed fights, that give him a chance to fight for a title. This simple-minded pugilist has no boxing skills -- yet managers, promoters and gamblers are prepared to sacrifice his body and his pride to earn a quick dollar."
