Title Details
Description
This novel is a powerful psychological study of a solder's struggle with the horrors, within and without, that war unleashes. First published in 1895, Crane's novel of the Civil War was written entirely from newspaper accounts and research, as Crane himself never went to war. However, this novel strikes the listener with its undeniable realism and with its masterful description of the moment-by-moment eruption of emotions felt by men under fire. Long considered the first great "modern" war novel by an American author, it is a masterpiece so unique that many believe that modern American fiction began with Stephen Crane. It is read by stage and television actor Richard Thomas (The Waltons).
