The Red Badge Of Courage And Other Stories

This novel examines war and its psychological effect on the individual soldier, by following the exploits of a group of soldiers during the American Civil War.

The young Henry Fleming enlists in the Union Army during the American Civil War, harboring dreams of becoming a war hero. When he faces the enemy for the first time, he realizes that the reality of war is far from his fantasies, and the feeling of horror engulfs him. When The Red Badge of Courage was first published in 1894, it distinguished itself from contemporary war narratives by focusing on internal psychological struggles rather than external events—a focus that keeps it captivatingly relevant even today. It has never been out of print and is considered one of the great American novels. STEPHEN CRANE [1871-1900] was an American poet and author.

This edition explores Crane's work from a fresh critical perspective and introduces new research on the imaginative relationship between Crane's novel and the Civil War. (Quelle: Buchdeckel verso).
