Fantastic Short Story,

This review is from: The Game (Kindle Edition)
Although the language is a little dated, this classic short story is extremely well written. It captures the emotions and passions of a proper young lady and the prize fighter with whom she has fallen in love. The descriptions of the characters and their settings elegantly take the reader into their lives. Once you get past the language of a bygone era, this is a great, quick but satisfying read.

This review is from: The Game (Kindle Edition)
Once again, Jack London brings you completely in another world, in another's way of thinking and puts you in someone else's shoes for a hour. This time, the master shows us the emotions and needs of two lovers, on the brink of their wedding day. What drives a man to combat ? Could a gentle lady understand that part of him ? Life, as usual, in all its glory, its twists of fate, and its unrelenting progress.

Great Short Story,

This review is from: The Game (Kindle Edition)
I really enjoyed this short story by Jack London. The details about boxing, and about the couple's relationship resonated with me. It was a quick and easy read, and it left me feeling a bit emotional for the characters in the story. I loved the raw emotion and the feelings that Genevieve has. I love her naivety, which was very characteristic for the time period. London really gave you a sense of how the young was couple dreaming of their future together.
I have since downloaded some of Jack London's other stories, and am beginning to read them. Five Stars! Definitely recommend this story.

(What's this?)
He was beginning to see, though vaguely, the sharp conflict between woman and career, between a man's work in the world and woman's need of the man. But he was not capable of generalization. He saw only the antagonism between the concrete, flesh- and-blood Genevieve and the great, abstract, living Game. Each resented the other, each claimed him; he was torn with the strife, and yet drifted helpless on the currents of their contention.

The social instinct was strong in them, yet they had remained lonely because they could not satisfy that instinct and at that same time satisfy their desire for cleanness and decency.

For it was the Game that had been questioned, its verity and worth, the Game itself, the biggest thing in the world--or what had been the biggest thing in the world until that chance afternoon
