Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Set-Up' is a hard-hitting narrative poem that captures the grit and shadows of the 1920s boxing world. This verse novel tells the visceral story of Pansy Jones, an aging Black boxer attempting a comeback in a sport rife with corruption, racial prejudice, and betrayal. Through its sharp, rhythmic lines and cinematic pacing, the work explores the dark underbelly of the 'sweet science, ' where matches are fixed and dreams are sold for a pittance.The narrative follows Jones as he prepares for a fight he does not realize has been rigged against him by a syndicate of unscrupulous gamblers. Joseph Moncure March's staccato style reflects the atmosphere of the Jazz Age-smoky gyms, crowded arenas, and the desperate energy of men living on the edge. Beyond the physical brutality of the ring, 'The Set-Up' offers a poignant critique of social injustice and the relentless nature of a system designed to exploit the marginalized. A landmark of hardboiled literature, this work remains a powerful example of the narrative poem's ability to depict raw human experience with unflinching honesty and rhythmic intensity.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written in 1928, The Set-Up is a long narrative poem about the US boxing underworld a hard-boiled tragedy told in syncopated rhyming couplets. When the work was first published it made the bestseller list, and in 1949 it was turned into an award-winning film featuring Robert Ryan and Audrey Totter.This reprinting of the original, unchanged 1928 poem features dynamic, specially commissioned artwork by Erik Kriek that vividly conveys the story of Pansy, an up-and-coming black prize fighter who takes on all comers. When he was in the ring, It was over before you knew it. He'd carve you up like a leg of mutton. And drop you flat with a sock on the button. Pansys complicated love life leads to a spell in prison and his career subsequently takes a nosedive; but he continues to box until the fateful night his fight managers and opponent triple-cross him and he meets a grisly end at the hands of a vengeful gang.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Signed, limited edition of this quintessential Jazz Age narrative poem by an early New Yorker editor and author of another of the era's signature poems, The Wild Party (1926). Written in terse rhyming couplets, The Set-Up concerns an aging Black boxer, Pansy Jones, who is coerced into throwing a fight against a lesser opponent. Double-crossed by his manager, Jones revolts and wins the fight, only to be chased to his presumed death on the New York subway tracks. March was reportedly inspired to write the poem after a viewing of Negro Boxer, a 1927 painting by James Chapin. The Set-Up became a best- seller on publication, going through numerous early printings, and was later adapted into the 1949 Robert Wise film noir of the same name, although Wise chose to eliminate the poem's racial commentary by making the main character white. This limited first edition, handsomely illustrated by Alexander King, is signed and hand-numbered by March on a limitation page at front. First edition. Limited to 275 signed and hand-numbered copies, of which this is No. 156. Octavo (6.5 x 10 in.); 184pp.; patterned paper boards backed with tan cloth; paper spine label printed in red. About near fine, with mild bumping to the top corners and moderate shelfwear resulting in some splitting and loss of paper at the tips and along the bottoms of the boards.
