Stephen Crane

This classic novel looks at a young civil war soldier's struggle with the horrors of war. Crane's precise prose portrays the physical atrocities of war, as well as its psychological affects, in this American standard. First published in 1895, The Red Badge of Courage features clear realism and masterful depictions of the emotions felt by the soldiers in the thick of it.

This book contains five of Crane's best short stories - Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, The Blue Hotel, The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, The Monster and The Open Boat. His work deals not only with things human and natural, but with the force that acts in them and so unites us, who are utterly alone, in a connective universe.

This volume contains three complete novels - Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, George's Mother, and The Red Badge of Courage; nineteen short stories and sketches, including The Blue Hotel and The Open Boat; the previously unpublished essay, Above All Things; letters and poems, plus a critical essay by noted Crane scholar Joseph Katz.

Though he died at 28, Stephen Crane was one of the most innovative and diversely accomplished writers of his generation. Here for the first time in one volume are all his most accomplished and best-known works. Crane's novels include The Red Badge of Courage, about a young confused Union soldier under fire for the first time; Maggie; A Girl of the Streets, a vivid portrait of slum life and a young girl's fall; George's Mother, about New York's Bowery and its effect on a young workingman fresh from the country; The Third Violet, about a Bohemian artist's country romance; and The Monster, a novella about sacrifice and rescue. The stories include masterpieces like "The Open Boat," "The Blue Hotel," and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," as well as tales of childhood in small-town America.
