Crane is concerned with the moral responsibility of the individual ... (and) moral capability depends upon the ability to see through the illusions wrought by pride and conceit—the ability to see ourselves clearly and truly."

Book Synopsis The Portable Stephen Crane by : Stephen Crane
Download or read book The Portable Stephen Crane written by Stephen Crane and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1977-07-28 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A man is born into the world with his own pair of eyes, and he is not responsible for his vision—he is merely responsible for his quality of personal honesty.” In the course of his tragically abbreviated career, Stephen Crane (1871–1900) saw things that his contemporaries preferred to overlook—the low life of New York’s Irish slums; the tedium, brutality, and chaos that were the true conditions of the Civil War; the ambiguous contract that binds a terrified man to his killer and the damned to their human judges. He communicated what he saw with the same laconic factuality that characterized his journalism and, in the process, laid the foundations for the unblinking realism of Hemingway and Dos Passos. The Portable Stephen Crane allows us to appreciate the full scope and power of this writer’s vision. It contains three complete novels—Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, George’s Mother, and Crane’s masterpiece, The Red Badge of Courage; nineteen short stories and sketches, including “The Blue Hotel” and “The Open Boat,” a barely fictionalized account of his own escape from shipwreck while covering the Cuban revolt against Spain; the previously unpublished essay “Above All Things”; letters and poems, plus a critical essay and notes by the noted Crane scholar Joseph Katz.

Book Synopsis The Monster and Other Stories by : Stephen Crane
Download or read book The Monster and Other Stories written by Stephen Crane and published by Mint Editions. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monster and Other Stories (1899) is a collection of short fiction by American writer Stephen Crane. "The Monster," a novella, was originally published in 1898 in Harper's Magazine and has since been recognized as one of Crane's most important works, a story which critiques the racism prevalent in American society. In 1899, it was published alongside "The Blue Hotel" and "His New Mittens" in The Monster and Other Stories, which was the last work by Crane to be published during his lifetime. In "The Monster," set in the fictional town of Whilomville, an African American coachmen employed by the wealthy Trescott family is horribly disfigured while attempting to save their young son Jimmie from a house fire. Despite his gruesome injuries, Henry Johnson survives, and Dr. Trescott gratefully nurses him back to health and offers him a place to stay on the family property. Meanwhile, the white townspeople, who view Johnson as a monster, vilify the Trescotts for transgressing the unspoken rules of racial segregation. As Johnson attempts to return to some sense of normalcy, he is rejected both by the African American and white communities, and retreats into a lonely, quiet life. "The Blue Hotel" is a story of violence, fate, and hatred, of a place where loneliness reigns among strangers, and where fear is a troublesome friend. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Stephen Crane's The Monster and Other Stories is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Burning Boy written by Paul Auster and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE WINNER A BOSTON GLOBE BEST BOOK OF 2021 Booker Prize-shortlisted and New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster's comprehensive, landmark biography of the great American writer Stephen Crane. With Burning Boy, celebrated novelist Paul Auster tells the extraordinary story of Stephen Crane, best known as the author of The Red Badge of Courage, who transformed American literature through an avalanche of original short stories, novellas, poems, journalism, and war reportage before his life was cut short by tuberculosis at age twenty-eight. Auster’s probing account of this singular life tracks Crane as he rebounds from one perilous situation to the next: A controversial article written at twenty disrupts the course of the 1892 presidential campaign, a public battle with the New York police department over the false arrest of a prostitute effectively exiles him from the city, a star-crossed love affair with an unhappily married uptown girl tortures him, a common-law marriage to the proprietress of Jacksonville’s most elegant bawdyhouse endures, a shipwreck results in his near drowning, he withstands enemy fire to send dispatches from the Spanish-American War, and then he relocates to England, where Joseph Conrad becomes his closest friend and Henry James weeps over his tragic, early death. In Burning Boy, Auster not only puts forth an immersive read about an unforgettable life but also, casting a dazzled eye on Crane’s astonishing originality and productivity, provides uniquely knowing insight into Crane’s creative processes to produce the rarest of reading experiences—the dramatic biography of a brilliant writer as only another literary master could tell it.

Book Synopsis Stephen Crane by : Alfred Ernest Keet
Download or read book Stephen Crane written by Alfred Ernest Keet and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stephen Crane: In Memoriam No greater - more damnably tragic - mistake could be made. The writer does his best work when well-fed, comfortably housed and free from pecuniary worry. The early work of most writers -the great Dryden, for example - is usually inferior, because of the dire necessity they are under of getting into print - and so into money - as quickly as possible. It is useless to surmise now as to what killed Step-hen Crane at so early an age - 30. He was delicate and fragile, physically, and it may have been the stress and storm of his early struggles for literary recognition - or it may have been his hardships and shipwreck in the Cuban campaign as war-correspondent.

Download or read book Stephen Crane written by Caroline Kepnes and published by . This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stephen Crane saw boundaries he didn't dawdle and wait for someone to help in inside, He just jumped the fence. This spirit is evident in the Civil War novel that he's famous for, The Red Badge of Courage. He was only twenty-one when he wrote the book and he dared to tell the story even though he'd never so much as stepped onto the battlefield. His life was a series of wild dares. Every time he disobeyed his Methodist parents and snuck away to explore the neighborhood, he risked punishment. Every time he compromises his safety as a journalist by disguising himself and sneaking into dangerous places, he risked his life. What was his greatest feat? That's easy. Somehow, he wrote it all down.
