Sinossi

Stephen Crane - Ultimate Collection: 200+ Novels, Short Stories & Poems is a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the multifaceted genius of Crane, one of the pioneers of modern American literature. Characterized by his terse and vivid prose, the collection features seminal works such as "The Red Badge of Courage," which offers a poignant exploration of the psychological impact of war, alongside richly layered short stories like "The Open Boat." Bringing together poetry and narrative, Crane employs a vibrant, impressionistic style that resonates with naturalism and modernism, grounding his characters in a world defined by existential struggle and profound human emotion. This extensive compilation presents readers with a curated window into the conflicts of human experience, ethics, and the surrounding environment, revealing Crane's dexterous ability to weave storytelling with thematic depth. Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was a literary innovator whose life and work were shaped by the tumultuous social landscape of post-Civil War America. Orphaned at an early age and exposed to the harsh realities of life through war correspondence during the Spanish-American War, Crane's worldview was notoriously influenced by his experiences in impoverished urban settings. His unique perspective on human resilience in the face of adversity is brilliantly mirrored in his diverse body of work, making him a vital figure of the American literary canon. This collection is a must-read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike, providing an invaluable opportunity to delve into Crane's explorations of bravery, suffering, and the human condition. Whether you're a newcomer to his work or wish to revisit his literary legacy, this ultimate collection offers a rich tapestry of narratives and poetry that challenges and enlightens, solidifying Crane's status as a foundational voice in American literature.

George Silverman's Explanation

Charles Dickens, Dominic Gerrard

George Silverman’s Explanation (published in The Atlantic in 1868) is one of Charles Dickens’ rarer short stories. Here the author immerses himself entirely in his character of George Silverman: addressing the reader in a dramatic monologue in which he is reticent, perhaps even unwilling to open up to us, but at the same time compelled to unburden his heart.  
So deeply does Dickens embody the role of Silverman that in a letter to an editor he writes that: 'I feel as if I had read something (by somebody else) which I should never get out of my head …’ 
This tale is an indictment against poverty as powerful as you will find in any of Dickens’ larger works. It is also a biting satire against the 'daring ignorance' and little 'meannesses' found in many non-conformist movements. Above all it is a deeply affecting examination of how far a childhood of of both want and punishing religious control can impact a man’s self-worth and future happiness.
