Seven stories in one collection - Now also available for paperback and Audible!
Story 1: The Red Badge of Courage

A fictional account of the American Civil War, The Red Badge of Courage, depicts more than the challenges and destruction of war. Told from the narrow viewpoint of a young private in the Union Army, the reader gains insight into the thoughts, fears and emotions of a soldier as he witnesses his friends and fellow "mule drivers and mud diggers" battle for the Union's victory. Faced with uncertainty, grief, shame and battling his own cowardice, Henry Fleming eagerly looks forward to being injured to display his heroism and overcome his fears, volunteering to carry the flag into battle, unarmed and vulnerable.

Story 2: The Open Boat

Four desperate, exhausted men are forced together by fate and nature after being shipwrecked. The reality of their situation is grim as they drift along in their small boat, isolated, fatigued, and uncertain. In an attempt to blame or call out to a higher power for assistance, the protagonist, the iconic condescending observer, understands how nature's indifference to their circumstances will seal their fate.

As a collection of short stories, Stephen Crane has masterfully depicted the human condition. Through his keen observations of the simple, unnoticed aspects of life, he deftly describes man's relationship to society, human nature, and the power of transformation. In each of the stories, he creatively reveals the internal battles, conflicts and awakening that man collectively experiences. Through the personification of war, society, the wild West and even an Italian fruit cart, he reveals man's sense of dignity, optimism, grit, courage, and greed.
