Interpretation During Books The Open Boat and Other Stories

Four prized selections by one of America's greatest writers: "The Open Boat," based on a harrowing incident in the author's life: the 1897 sinking of a ship on which he was a passenger; "The Blue Hotel" and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," reflecting Crane's early travels in Mexico and the American Southwest; and the novella Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, a galvanizing portrait of life in the slums of New York City.

Evaluate About Books The Open Boat and Other Stories

Tragic and suspenseful stories that rend the heart and fill with wonder. Intriguing characters imbue a variety of colorful American landscapes in this exceptional collection of realism. Stephen Crane is a gem; shame on me for not having read his works earlier.

I've read this collection to understand Eudora Welty's On Writing. I have enjoyed the Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, The Open Boat and The Blue Hotel. When I got to Maggie, A Girl of the Streets, initially I was moved, reminded of Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. But unlike them, there's no hope of improvement for Maggie Johnson.

Another great example of his descriptive ability of a situation. Crane puts you right there. It is a shame he died so young.

3 racconti ben scritti e scorrevoli.

Il primo, La scialuppa, ti coinvolge e ti emoziona e, a mio avviso, nulla ha da invidiare ad altre brevi avventure sul mare, narrate da autori come Conrad o Stevenson. Mentre ero lì con loro sulla barca, bagnato fradicio nonostante il mio sud-ovest, mi veniva in mente la barca dei pescatori islandesi del Paradiso e Inferno di Stefánsson. Bah! Che azzardo.Se sto per affogare se sto per affogare se sto

4.5 starsStephen Crane is a master of the Realism genre, and its a shame that he died at 28; I would have loved to have more work from him. The four short stories in this collection are at varying degrees of success; the first story, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, is a mixed bag of Crane's strengths and weaknesses. The story could have been twenty pages shorter and still have hit the mark of a piece about Irish American poverty and the struggles of class differences. The title story, The Open
