Synopsis "Knock out (in Spanish)"

«En los primeros rounds, la cosa será feroz. Es la especialidad de Ponta. Es un bruto que intenta todos los golpes juntos, un torbellino que quiere tumbar al otro en los primeros rounds. Ha enviado a varios a la lona, algunos más inteligentes y fuertes que él. Mi problema es resistir, eso es todo. Entonces, estará a punto. Iré a buscarlo, ya lo verás. Sabrás cuándo voy a buscarlo, y lo haré pedazos.»Knock Out reúne tres historias memorables: Un bistec, quizás el mejor relato que se haya escrito sobre boxeo; El mexicano, un clásico imprescindible de la narrativa de Jack London, y El combate, novela de desenlace inesperado y verídico. Historias épicas donde el coraje y el sacrificio constituyen el destino último de sus protagonistas.Enrique Breccia, uno de los mayores ilustradores contemporáneos, ha elaborado dieciséis estampas en blanco y negro que interpretan magistralmente la violenta intensidad de estas páginas.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
