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.
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...
評分 評分作者翻译得非常优美流畅。信达雅应该说到了雅的层次。 不过这本书不知道是不是有点过誉了。原作者写书时才22岁,阅历有限。天才还差那么一点。而且充满了心理描写,不知道和“等待戈多”是什么感觉。可能是所谓的意识流吧。关于一个青年在战争中的顿悟和成长的心路历程故事...
