Produktbeschreibung
An instant international bestseller when first published in 1895, Stephen Crane's fictional narrative recounts one soldier's experiences during the American Civil War (1860-1865). The Red Badge of Courage is a psychological portrait of fear. By turns gripping, lyrical, and deeply sensitive, the book chronicles the repercussions of war on the individual and collective psyche. Rather than describing battles and military campaigns, or settling the true cause of this devastating conflict, Crane brings to life the unimaginable for today's readers. Written before Crane had become a celebrity war correspondent and seen battle firsthand, the book set the standard for realistic war literature for a century to come. This literary tour de force exposes the tragic irony of war as experienced by common soldiers rather than generals and bystanders. Includes an afterword by Amy Kaplan and a detail biographical timeline.

Autorenporträt
Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 - June 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Born in Newark, New Jersey, to Jonathan and Mary Helen Crane, he became known for his works in Realism, Naturalism, and Impressionism. His famous work, The Red Badge of Courage, focused on the psychological aspects of war. Crane's innovative narrative style made him a key figure in American literature. Despite his short life, he left a lasting legacy before dying at 28. Robert Barr (September 16, 1849 - October 21, 1912) was a Scottish-Canadian novelist, short story writer, and journalist. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, to Robert Barr and Jane Watson, he moved to Canada with his family in 1854, settling near Muirkirk. Barr worked as a carpenter, taught in Kent County, and later became principal in Windsor. He began writing for newspapers under the pen name ""Luke Sharp."" In 1876, Barr shifted to journalism as a reporter for the Detroit Free Press before moving to London in 1881 to focus on fiction writing. He achieved success with his weekly English edition of the Free Press. His engaging storytelling and exploration of human nature contributed significantly to his era's literary scene.
