Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A salty breeze whips across the sun-baked shoreline, where the crack of fists against flesh mingles with the crash of waves. Here, the world of boxing collides with the unpredictable rhythms of the sea, setting the stage for a sports fiction tale brimming with wit, bravado, and the raw energy of the American sporting spirit. In this spirited 1920s boxing story, the ring is not confined to smoky gyms or grand arenas, but spills out onto the sands, where every bout is charged with seaside adventure and every punch carries the laughter and tension of a true pulp sports fiction classic. The narrative unfolds with a cast of unforgettable characters-fighters whose dreams are as big as their personalities, and whose misadventures are laced with both humour and heart. The beach becomes more than just a backdrop; it's a proving ground where athletic adventure meets the unpredictable, and where the stakes are measured not only in bruises and broken noses but in pride, camaraderie, and the pursuit of victory under the open sky. The story's brisk pace and sharp dialogue capture the essence of boxing humour stories, blending physical action with a keen sense of the absurd, and inviting readers to revel in the spectacle of underdogs and champions alike. What distinguishes this work is its seamless fusion of action-packed boxing story and seaside adventure fiction, offering a reading experience that is both exhilarating and slyly comic. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of salt and sweat, the tension of competition, and the ever-present possibility of surprise-qualities that have ensured its standing among collectors and enthusiasts of American boxing tales and humorous sports fiction.
