| Summary | "Una sfida al Polo" by Emilio Salgari is an adventurous novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the fierce competition between two rivals, Montcalm and Torpon, both of whom are vying for the affections of the audacious Ellen Perkins, an intrepid sportswoman. The novel promises thrilling confrontations, sportsmanship, and elements of romance intermixed with competitive spirit. The opening of the book introduces an electrifying scene in Kingston, Canada, where a crowd gathers for a series of bets surrounding a boxing match between the two male protagonists, eager to win the heart of Miss Ellen. Amid cheers and excitement, both competitors are presented as esteemed sportsmen, engaging in various challenges while Miss Ellen upholds a vow to marry only the strongest contender. Tension escalates with the unexpected arrival of law enforcement, setting the stage for a chaotic clash between the crowd and the police, ultimately leading the protagonists to seek a more private and lethal resolution in a duel, which further intensifies the storyline.
