Summary "Viimeinen ottelu" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Joe Fleming, a young boxer, and his relationship with Genevieve, a naive but beautiful young woman who is enamored with him. At its core, the book addresses the themes of love, ambition, and the conflicts between personal desires and societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Joe and Genevieve as they shop for carpets, hinting at their shared aspirations and underlying tensions about Joe's boxing career. Genevieve displays concern for Joe's safety and the nature of his sport, which he views as profound and exhilarating, emphasizing the excitement and pride he derives from his victories. As they navigate their relationship, the tension between Joe's boxing independence and Genevieve's desire to possess him grows palpable, underpinning the story's emotional conflict.
