The Red Badge of Courage (1895) is a vivid psychological account of a young man's experience of fighting in the American Civil War, based on Crane's reading of popular descriptions of battle. The intensity of its narrative and its naturalistic power earned Crane instant success, and led to his spending most of his brief remaining life war reporting. The other stories collected in this volume draw on this experience; `The Open Boat' (1898) was inspired by his fifty hour struggle with waves after his ship was sunk during an expedition to Cuba; `The Monster' (1899) is a bitterly ironic commentary on the ostracization of a doctor for harbouring the servant who was disfigured and lost his sanity rescuing his son. As a rare example of Crane working in a vein of American Gothic, it is particularly striking for its treatment of race and social injustice. `The Blue Hotel' traces the events that lead to a murder at a bar in a small Nebraska town. This edition is the most generously annotated edition of Crane's work, exploring it from a fresh critical perspective and focusing on his place as an experimental writer, his modernist legacy and his social as well as literary revisionism. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分除了军服的蓝色外,其实没有细节表现这是美国的南北战争,也许这就是作者的用意,它可以表现为任何一场战争,毕竟内容也没有正义、政治等一切非战争因素,有的只是一个士兵的故事,而这个士兵可以放在任何一次战斗中。从这点看此书还颇为现代。 一个普通的士兵,从军上了战场,...
