The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs
A coarse, violent youth forged in the city’s gutter lives as a petty criminal until an infatuation with a respectable young woman draws him into dangerous situations beyond his old haunts; following her into lawless borderlands, sea voyages and clashes with bandits and rebels, he endures brutality, betrayal and sacrifice that force him to confront loyalty, courage and conscience. Through hardship and fierce, often clumsy devotion he gradually sheds his cynical cruelty and discovers a rough personal code and the possibility of redemption, blending gritty urban realism with pulpy adventure and a central moral transformation.
