Yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija Stephen Crane (1871-1900) seikkaili 1890-luvulla Teksasissa, Meksikossa ja Nebraskassa. Hän joutui kapakkatappeluun, lumimyrskyyn preerialla ja meksikolaisten rosvojen takaa-ajamaksi. Hän kirjoitti kokemastaan novelleja, joiden aiheita on sittemmin käytetty useissa lännenelokuvissa. Fred Zinnemannin klassikkoelokuva Sheriffi (High Noon) perustuu pitkälti novelliin "Morsian saapuu kaupunkiin".Tähän kirjaan on koottu Stephen Cranen parhaat lännentarinat Anssi Hynysen tuoreina suomennoksina. Kokoelma sisältää novellit "Takaa-ajo", "Mies ja muutama muu", "Morsian saapuu kaupunkiin", "Viisi valkoista hiirtä", "Sininen hotelli" ja "Kello kaksitoista".

He became not a man but a member. He felt that something of which he was a part - a regiment, an army, a cause, or a country - was in crisis. He was welded into a common personality which was dominated by a single desire.With thoughts of valor on his mind, a young man - barely past the age of manhood - enlists with the Union Army during the American Civil War. When he finally arrives at his first battle, fear and doubts of his own bravery invade his thoughts as he readies himself for combat. When the fighting intensifies, the young private turns and runs away. Ashamed of his cowardice, he continues forward in his duty to his country and looks to atone for his cowardice with a combat wound, also known as a red badge of courage.

Stephen Crane hat ein umfangreiches Werk hinterlassen, von dem es noch immer Geschichten zu entdecken gibt, die nie zuvor auf Deutsch erschienen sind. In diesem Band sind es, ­neben ­einer Reihe kurioser Erzählungen um den kleinen Jimmie Trescott, auch ­einige der besten - und unbekanntesten - Stücke wie 'Zwölf Uhr' oder das an Edgar Allan Poe erinnernde 'Purer Zufall' . In typischer Crane-Manier geben sie auf ganz verschiedene Weise Einblicke in die mensch­liche Psyche, mitunter speziell in die kindliche. Vermutlich, weil Crane sein viel zu ­kurzes Leben lang immer ein Stück weit Kind geblieben ist. Die zwölf Geschichten ­dieses Bandes bieten Gelegenheit, den Menschen Stephen Crane in seiner ­ganzen ­Vielschichtigkeit kennenzulernen.

The Monster and Other Stories (1899) is a collection of short fiction by American writer Stephen Crane. ¿The Monster,¿ a novella, was originally published in 1898 in Harper¿s Magazine and has since been recognized as one of Crane¿s most important works, a story which critiques the racism prevalent in American society. In 1899, it was published alongside ¿The Blue Hotel¿ and ¿His New Mittens¿ in The Monster and Other Stories, which was the last work by Crane to be published during his lifetime.In ¿The Monster,¿ set in the fictional town of Whilomville, an African American coachmen employed by the wealthy Trescott family is horribly disfigured while attempting to save their young son Jimmie from a house fire. Despite his gruesome injuries, Henry Johnson survives, and Dr. Trescott gratefully nurses him back to health and offers him a place to stay on the family property. Meanwhile, the white townspeople, who view Johnson as a monster, vilify the Trescotts for transgressing the unspoken rules of racial segregation. As Johnson attempts to return to some sense of normalcy, he is rejected both by the African American and white communities, and retreats into a lonely, quiet life. ¿The Blue Hotel¿ is a story of violence, fate, and hatred, of a place where loneliness reigns among strangers, and where fear is a troublesome friend.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Stephen Crane¿s The Monster and Other Stories is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

With two parts and seventeen stories, Stephen Crane's The Open Boat and Other Stories is an eclectic collection that stuns with its use of naturalism and angst.

Among these is The Bride Comes to the Yellow Sky, a tense drama that explores themes of change with the portrayal of a Texas marshal who is saved from gunfight by his bride. Death and the Child follows a journalist who, after becoming sympathetic to the Greeks as he acts as a correspondent for the war, decides to join them in their fight. Also featured in part one of The Open Boat and Other Stories is the title work. The Open Boat follows the emotional journey of four men who have survived a shipwreck as they wrestle with the realization that nature is apathetic to their fate. Titled Midnight Sketches, the second part of The Open Boat and Other Stories pays special attention to the class struggles of American Society. An Experiment in Misery features the wrenching story of a young man who wanders the streets of New York, enduring taunts and cruelty as he searches for affordable food and living accommodations. Similarly, An Ominous Baby is a brief, symbolic tale of socioeconomics as it follows a young child exploring a rich neighborhood, becoming fixated on a rich kid's toy. With themes of romance and coming-of-age, The Pace of Youth depicts a young couple who, despite the disapproval of the girl's father, decides to indulge in their love and elope.

While depicting a vivid variety of settings, including both exotic and American landscapes, and with the depiction of complex protagonists ranging from innocent children, to journalist-turned soldiers, The Open Boat and Other Stories celebrates and features some of Stephen Crane's best work.

Paul Auster: »Crane war der erste große amerikanische Schriftsteller der Moderne«Stephen Crane war eine der spannendsten Personen seiner Zeit. Er verbrachte Nächte unter Vagabunden in schmutzigen Schlafsälen, erlag den Vergnügungen der Stadt, nahm die Künstlerszene unter die Lupe und schrieb anschließend über seine Erfahrungen. Gesellschaftskritik, Schockmomente und Ironie verbinden sich zu einem meisterhaften Lebenswerk, in dem deutlich wird, mit welcher Leidenschaft Crane dem Schreiben nachkam - und wie weit er für eine gute, authentische Story bereit war zu gehen.Der Band »Geschichten eines New Yorker Künstlers« enthält die zwei ­Romane »Maggie, ein Mädchen von der Straße« ­und ­»Georges Mutter« sowie weitere Geschichten, von denen die meisten erstmals auf Deutsch erscheinen

Seine Geschichten sind gerade ­deshalb so authentisch und mitreißend, weil er als ­Abenteurer und Reporter vieles davon selbst erlebt hat. Die ­großartige Darstellung eines Schiffbruchs in Das ­offene Boot und die in Nebraska angesiedelte Geschichte Das blaue Hotel ­zählen zu den Meisterwerken der Weltliteratur.

Für Ernest Hemingway eines der besten Bücher unserer LiteraturEs ist ein grandioses Meisterwerk, das die Empfindungen, Sorgen und Nöte des einfachen Soldaten im amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg auslotet, Jahre bevor die Psychoanalyse Einzug in die Wissenschaften hielt. Verfasst von einem 22-jährigen Collegeabbrecher, der keine Ahnung vom Soldatenleben hatte und erst 1871, sechs Jahre nach dem Ende des Bürger­kriegs, geboren worden war. Cranes Stil und Dramaturgie lassen den Leser unmittelbar am Geschehen teilhaben.Als "Die rote Tapferkeitsmedaille" 1895 erschien,­ ­entwickelte sich der Roman rasch zu einem Bestseller und veränderte die Sicht auf den modernen Krieg radikal. Dieser ­Perspektive schlossen sich viele Autoren an, bis hin zu Erich Maria ­Remarque in seinem Roman "Im Westen nichts Neues".
