A very little boy stood upon a heap of gravel for the honor of Rum Alley. He was throwing stones at howling urchins from Devils Row who were circling madly about the heap and pelting at him.His infantile countenance was livid with fury. His small body was writhing in the delivery of great, crimson oaths."Run, Jimmie, run! Deyll get yehs," screamed a retreating Rum Alley child."Naw," responded Jimmie with a valiant roar, "dese micks cant make me run."Howls of renewed wrath went up from Devils Row throats. Tattered gamins on the right made a furious assault on the gravel heap. On their small, convulsed faces there shone the grins of true assassins. As they charged, they threw stones and cursed in shrill chorus.

Tattered gamins on the right made a furious assault on the gravel heap. On their small, convulsed faces there shone the grins of true assassins. As they charged, they threw stones and cursed in shrill chorus.The little champion of Rum Alley stumbled precipitately down the other side. His coat had been torn to shreds in a scuffle, and his hat was gone. He had bruises on twenty parts of his body, and blood was dripping from a cut in his head. His wan features wore a look of a tiny, insane demon.On the ground, children from Devils Row closed in on their antagonist. He crooked his left arm defensively about his head and fought with cursing fury. The little boys ran to and fro, dodging, hurling stones and swearing in barbaric trebles.

The fog made the clothes of the men of the column in the roadway seem of a luminous quality. It imparted to the heavy infantry overcoats a new colour, a kind of blue which was so pale that a regiment might have been merely a long, low shadow in the mist. However, a muttering, one part grumble, three parts joke, hovered in the air above the thick ranks, and blended in an undertoned roar, which was the voice of the column.The town on the southern shore of the little river loomed spectrally, a faint etching upon the grey cloud-masses which were shifting with oily languor. A long row of guns upon the northern bank had been pitiless in their hatred, but a little battered belfry could be dimly seen still pointing with invincible resolution toward the heavens.

Dos años antes de su muerte, Stephen Crane viajó como corresponsal de prensa norteamericano a la Guerra de Cuba que enfrentó a España contra Estados Unidos. Fruto de esa experiencia escribió Heridas bajo la lluvia, que hasta ahora jamas habia sido traducida ni publicada en español. Famoso mundialmente por la novela El rojo emblema del valor, donde por primera vez relato con lenguaje preciso y directo los horrores de la violencia belica, Crane retoma en Heridas bajo la lluvia el mismo asunto e indaga en la condicion humana, sometida en las trincheras a la presion de la miseria, el hambre y el miedo. La agilidad de sus dialogos, su capacidad para crear personajes creibles y cercanos al lector, la potencia de sus imagenes literarias y su ironia ofrecen una vision sorprendente de la Guerra de Cuba por su crudeza y modernidad. Este relato, ambientado en paisajes como la bahia de La Habana, Guantanamo o la colina de San Juan, describe la vida cotidiana de soldados y periodistas, incapaces de comprender realmente los motivos por los que se enfrentan a la muerte.

Con tan solo 24 años, Stephen Crane cambió el curso de la literatura bélica con su obra maestra La roja insignia del valor. Por primera vez, la guerra deja de ser un escenario romántico para convertirse en un infierno de fango, desesperacion y miedo. La novela no tardo en convertirse en un best-seller que atrajo la atencion de todo tipo de lectores, incluidos los mas jovenes. Crane conjuga con talento inigualable la descripcion expresionista del campo de batalla con las dudas que siente el individuo hacia su valor en una situacion extrema. Ambientada durante la Guerra Civil Americana, un joven se alista voluntario ingenuamente para defender unos ideales que iran siendo destruidos con el fragor de los cañonazos. Su capacidad narrativa y la agilidad de los dialogos sorprendieron a autores como Joseph Conrad, Henry James o H. G. Wells, aunque serian los narradores norteamericanos de la Generacion Perdida (Hemigway, Dos Passos y Faulkner) quienes mas se verian influidos por la prosa de Crane. Fallecido prematuramente a los 28 años, poco antes de morir acudio como corresponsal de prensa a la Guerra de Cuba, lo que le llevo a escribir Heridas bajo la lluvia, tambien publicada por Rey Lear en el numero 1 de esta coleccion.
