The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane : illustrated edition - 692

A new edition of Stephen Crane's 1895 Civil War classic, The Red Badge of Courage. A war novel by American author Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage is set during the American Civil War and is centered on the experiences of a young Union Army private, Henry Fleming, who longs to be wounded -- to earn a "red badge of courage" -- to compensate for his feelings of cowardice. The Red Badge of Courage was a ground-breaking work in how it engaged with the inner psychological life of its protagonist, providing an unprecedented psychological portrayal of fear. The novel was also known for its distinctive style, with realistic battle sequences and repeated use of color imagery and symbolic motifs, juxtaposed against an ironic tone. Garnering widespread acclaim in its own day, The Red Badge of Courage has never been out of print and has been the subject of numerous screen adaptations and is considered to be one of the most important and enduring works of nineteenth century American literature.
