Stephen Crane

La gran novela sobre la Guerra de Secesión de Estados Unidos. Traducción de Juan Aparicio Belmonte y María Ermitas Barrasa. Introducción de Gary Scharnhorst, catedrático honorífico de la Universidad de Nuevo Mexico En esta novela vertiginosa que Stephen Crane completo con solo veinticuatro años de edad, un joven se alista como voluntario en la Guerra de Secesion movido por sus ideales de heroismo. Sin embargo, la batalla pronto deja de ser un escenario romantico para convertirse en un infierno de miedo, fango y desesperacion, cuya descripcion impresionista Crane conjuga magistralmente con las dudas individuales. Muchos son los estudios que recalcan la importancia de La roja insignia del valor como obra capital de la literatura estadounidense. Entre ellos se cuenta el firmado por el catedratico honorifico de la Universidad de Nuevo Mexico Gary Scharnhorst, que precede la magnifica traduccion de Juan Aparicio Belmonte y Maria Ermitas Barrasa.La critica ha dicho:[Crane] libero a la novela norteamericana de las convenciones que la tenian aprisionada desde hacia ciento cincuenta años. La roja insignia del valor [...] es una novela de guerra, pero esta escrita de un modo que no se habia hecho nunca, transmitiendo las sensaciones de un chico de dieciseis o diecisiete que se ve envuelto en una situacion que no comprende. Crane logra traducir sus percepciones a un lenguaje crudo pero lleno de vida.Paul AusterSintetico, rapido, intuitivo, certero, exento de retorica facil y de pedanteria inane, Crane se inspira siempre en la zona mas dura de la realidad, donde habitan, entre otras plagas, la guerra, el alcoholismo y la prostitucion, temas que conocia mejor que nadie.Luis Alberto de Cuenca, ABC cultural

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".

Plunged unwillingly into the nightmare of war, Fleming survives by sheer luck and instinct.

The story centers on Maggie, a young girl from the Bowery who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude. The story opens with Jimmie, Maggies brother, as he fights a gang of boys from an opposing neighborhood. He is saved by his friend, Pete, and comes home to a brutal and drunken father. As years pass and their father dies, Jimmie hardens into a sneering, aggressive, cynical youth and Maggie begins to work in a shirt factory, but her attempts to improve her life are undermined by her mothers drunken rages. Maggie begins to date Jimmies friend Pete, who has a job as a bartender and seems a very fine fellow, convinced that he will help her escape the life she leads. He takes her to the theater and the museum, but Jimmie and her mother accuse her of "Goin to deh devil" and throw her out. As the neighbors badmouth Maggie, Pete decides to leave her and she gets scorned by the entire tenement and left on the street.

The Red Badge of Courage is an 1895 war novel by American author Stephen Crane. It is considered one of the most influential works in American literature. The novel, a depiction on the cruelty of the American Civil War, features a young recruit who overcomes initial fears to become a hero on the battlefield. The book made Crane an international success. Although he was born after the war and had not at the time experienced battle firsthand, the novel is considered an example of Realism.

En las arterias del desdichado barrio de Bowery en Nueva York, escenario de revueltas y vilezas perpetradas por las bandas de gángsteres, transcurre la historia de la joven Maggie, de su familia y de un entorno hipócrita y hostil, que ignora la compasión. Stephen Crane se erige por derecho propio como un autor al que conviene leer y revisar en estos momentos: su crítica del sistema, no de las personas, señala con el dedo la hipocresía más incrustada de nuestras estructuras sociales. Todo lo que no queremos ver, lo que nos duele escuchar y lo que nos resistimos a creer forma parte del paisaje literario de Crane. Una lectura atenta nos convence de que es un escritor con un plan: sumergirse en las entrañas de su amada América para expurgar de ellas todo su profundo malestar.

"En medio de la tormenta se revelaba que la vanidad del hombre era el verdadero motor de la vida" S. C. En un pueblecito perdido de Nebraska se levanta un hotel pintado de un vistoso color azul, cercano a la estación de tren, que regenta un irlandés. Atento a su negocio, una mañana de invierno ve que de un vagón de pasajeros se apean tres hombres e inmediatamente los convence para que se alojen en su hotel. Al calor de una estufa, mientras fuera ruge una descomunal ventisca, se organiza una partida de cartas que acaba con la acusación por parte de un jugador de que otro hace trampas, seguida de una violenta pelea y un imprevisto desenlace. La prosa de Crane, en la que coexisten la densidad y la ligereza, es el vehículo idóneo que le sirve para describir las fuerzas a veces indefinibles que alientan en sus personajes. En El hotel azul, el miedo y la muerte es el persistente leitmotiv que da sentido a la historia.

This edition contains Cranes best stories dealing with wars and the military. The extraordinary power of imagination is more wonderful than that of Defoe. It is in dialogue that he is at his strongest, for in this the words are used as the soldiers would have used them.Contents:The Little RegimentThree Miraculous SoldiersA Mystery Of HeroismAn Indiana CampaignA Grey SleeveThe VeteranThe Price of the HarnessThe Lone Charge Of William B.

A vividness of portraiture which puts The Third Violet on a high levelhigher, we think, than Mr. Cranes very different Maggie, though perhaps lower than The Little Regiment, which is also very different. In his present book Mr. Crane is more the rival of Mr. Henry James than of Mr. Rudyard Kipling. But he is intensely American, which can hardly be said of Mr. Henry James, and it is possible that if he continues in his present line of writing he may be the author who will introduce the United States to the ordinary English world. We have never come across a book that brought certain sections of American society so perfectly before the reader as does The Third Violet. The picture is an extremely pleasant one, and its truth appeals to the English reader, so that the effect of the book is to draw him nearer to his American cousins. The Third Violet incidentally contains the best dog that we have come across in modern fiction. Mr. Cranes dialogue is excellent, and it is dialogue of a type for which neither The Red Badge of Courage nor his other books had prepared us.
