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.
文学题材说来说去不过三种,战争爱情与生活。《红色的英勇勋章》无疑是属于战争题材类型,可它的独特之处就在于它其实是反战争的,它处处所表现的出的遗憾让读者感觉到战争是一件多么遗憾的事情,不论是对战争方还是战败方。 小说一开头,就是一群百无聊赖的士兵...
评分 评分高中时看了一个简写本,单词量少,居然看完了。 大学毕业后无意间看到原版书,花了1个月慢慢啃完, 越来越佩服这个没经过真正战争的作者,居然把战争中战士的微妙的心理活动描写得如此生动。有时候想,如果我是主角,是不是在枪林弹雨中也会撒腿就跑?打红了眼是不是也会舍身保...
评分也许是读得太快的原因,总觉得书中少了点什么,后来一寻思,这少了点的什么恰恰是小说的精髓之处。 《红色的英勇标志》又被译为《红色的英勇勋章》,是19世纪后半期美国著名作家史蒂芬·克莱恩的代表作,被海明威认为是描写南北战争的唯一的一部杰作。小说并没有具体描...
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,...
回到中学生了。。
