Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American novelist, poet and journalist. The eighth surviving child of highly devout parents—his father was a Methodist minister and his mother was a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union—Crane was mostly raised by his older siblings in various parts of New Jersey. After attending several post-secondary institutions, including Claverack College, Lafayette College, and Syracuse University, he left schooling behind and traveled to New York to work as a reporter of slum life.
Crane's first novel was 1893's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which he followed with numerous short stories, poems, and accounts of war, all of which earned him praise but did not bring him the great acclaim he received for his 1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage. Capitalizing on the novel's success, Crane became a highly paid war correspondent, covering conflicts in Greece and Cuba for newspaper tycoons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. During the last year of his life he took refuge in the south of England, where he lived with his common-law wife, Cora Taylor, the former madam of a Jacksonville brothel. Plagued by exhaustion and ill health, Stephen Crane died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium in the Black Forest at the age of twenty-eight. Today he is considered one of the most innovative writers to emerge in the United States during the 1890s and one of the founders of Literary realism.

Henry Fleming, a raw Union Army recruit in the American Civil War, is anxious to confirm his patriotism and manhood - to earn his "badge of courage." But, his dreams of heroism and invulnerability are soon shattered when he flees the Confederate enemy during his baptism of fire and then witnesses the horrible death of a friend. Plunged unwillingly into the nightmare of war, Fleming survives by sheer luck and instinct. This edition of Stephen Crane's poignant classic is supplemented by five of his acclaimed short stories as well as selected poetry, offering the full range of this great American author's extraordinary talent.

作者翻譯得非常優美流暢。信達雅應該說到瞭雅的層次。 不過這本書不知道是不是有點過譽瞭。原作者寫書時纔22歲,閱曆有限。天纔還差那麼一點。而且充滿瞭心理描寫,不知道和“等待戈多”是什麼感覺。可能是所謂的意識流吧。關於一個青年在戰爭中的頓悟和成長的心路曆程故事...
評分 評分除瞭軍服的藍色外,其實沒有細節錶現這是美國的南北戰爭,也許這就是作者的用意,它可以錶現為任何一場戰爭,畢竟內容也沒有正義、政治等一切非戰爭因素,有的隻是一個士兵的故事,而這個士兵可以放在任何一次戰鬥中。從這點看此書還頗為現代。 一個普通的士兵,從軍上瞭戰場,...

不錯 但是elitesl
評分戰爭迷霧下的瘋狂與冷靜
評分通過刻意模糊化的人物、時間、空間,來描繪戰爭本身。跟隨主人公的內心上一迴戰場,種種心理變化帶給人的認同感可以和麥田裏的守望者媲美
評分微妙的戰爭描寫角度算好,但是呈現的方式很荒謬,讀完後一點不信Fleming真是這麼想。每一次主要人物的心理變化轉摺部分都自帶金光燦燦的bgm,如果不是課程要求,我絕不會讀完。
評分不錯 但是elitesl
