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.

被文學老師逼著讀的英文原版。看完一頭霧水。最後還是開外掛又看瞭一遍中文版。本來對戰爭背景的小說無感。對這本書談不上喜歡也不厭惡。看到Jim在迴團的路上突然死掉瞭。不知道能不能用猝死這個詞。死前他求著Henry說,可不可以在我死後把我的屍體拖到路邊我不想被大炮碾壓。...
評分也許是讀得太快的原因,總覺得書中少瞭點什麼,後來一尋思,這少瞭點的什麼恰恰是小說的精髓之處。 《紅色的英勇標誌》又被譯為《紅色的英勇勛章》,是19世紀後半期美國著名作傢史蒂芬·剋萊恩的代錶作,被海明威認為是描寫南北戰爭的唯一的一部傑作。小說並沒有具體描...
評分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...
評分高中時看瞭一個簡寫本,單詞量少,居然看完瞭。 大學畢業後無意間看到原版書,花瞭1個月慢慢啃完, 越來越佩服這個沒經過真正戰爭的作者,居然把戰爭中戰士的微妙的心理活動描寫得如此生動。有時候想,如果我是主角,是不是在槍林彈雨中也會撒腿就跑?打紅瞭眼是不是也會捨身保...
