A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A stunning collection of works by Stephen Crane whom H.G. Wells called “the best writer of our generation

The best-known work by famed American writer Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage is a compelling exploration of human emotion in the midst of battle. The book is revered for its pioneering style, and it explores themes of maturation, cowardice, and nature’s cruelty. One of the most innovative writers of his generation, Crane’s other notable works include “The Open Boat,” “The Blue Hotel,” “The Brides Comes to Yellow Sky,” and “The Upturned Face.” All of these stories are now available in one chic and affordable edition as part of the Word Cloud Classics series from Canterbury Classics. 

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Red Badge of Courage is one of the greatest war novels of all time. It reports on the American Civil War through the eyes of Henry Fleming, an ordinary farm boy turned soldier. It evokes the chaos and the dull clatter of war: the acrid smoke, the incessant rumours of coming battles, the filth and cold, the numbing monotony, the unworldly wailing of the dying. Like an impressionist painter, Crane also captures the strange beauty of war: the brilliant red flags against a blue sky, steel bayonets flashing in the morning sun as soldiers step off into battle. In the midst of this chaotic outer world, he creates an intricate inner world as he takes us inside the head of Henry Fleming.
