The Harder They Fall: A Novel

The Harder They Fall: A Novel

In Budd Schulbergâ€™s classic novel about boxingâ€™s corrupt underworld, naÃ¯ve newcomer Toro Molina is set up to hit the mat like no one else

â€œToroâ€ Molina certainly looks the part. Heâ€™s built like the Minotaur, but few would guess at the fear consuming the Argentine farmer and former circus performer after heâ€™s brought to the United States to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. The problem is that Molina canâ€™t box at all. But monstrous fight promoter Nick Latka fixes every fight on the way to the championship, and builds Toroâ€™s renown with the help of cynical sports journalist Ed Lewis and a host of lackeys.
Â
First published in 1947, The Harder They Fall stands as a powerful exposÃ© of professional boxing by one of the sportâ€™s true poet laureates.
