About this ebook
The Red Badge of Courage has long been regarded a treasure in American literature. Published in 1895, the book follows young Henry Fleming as he sets out to fight with the Union Army in the Civil War. However, upon seeing the horrors of the battlefield, Fleming's initial enthusiasm and desire for glory soon turns to fear and terror. Brimming with brave action and bloody conflict, The Red Badge of Courage captures the raw emotions felt by the soldiers facing violence and death. This story is one of finding courage in the face of unspeakable horrors.
About the author
Despite his relatively short life and key contribution to American literature, Stephen Crane wasn't an instant literary success. Born in 1871, his first novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets-which he wrote at the age of twenty-two-was shunned by many publishers who thought it unsuitable for late nineteenth-century Americans. Crane then turned to writing about warfare which resulted in The Red Badge fo Courage which brought him international acclaim. Crane died at the age of 28 just five years after his literary success.
