A girl of the streets and did not find much pleasure reading the other stories. ( ) 3594. Maggie A Girl of the Streets and Other Short Fiction, by Stephen Crane (read July 3 2002) Maggie first was published in 1893 by an anonymous publisher. Looking at it as reading material I thought the slang dated and odd-sounding and the characters were all stupid-acting. One was expected to feel sorry for Maggie, who is led into an immoral life though quite innocent. Her parents are unbelievably dysfunctional and I could not get caught up in the story. There are also four shorter stories in the book, including the classic "The Open Boat" which I had read before and which is memorable. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Not yet famous for his Civil War masterpiece, The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane was unable to find a publisher for his brilliant Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, finally printing it himself in 1893. Condemned and misunderstood during Crane’s lifetime, this starkly realistic story of a pretty child of the Bowery has since been recognized as a landmark work in American fiction. Now Crane’s great short novel of life in turn-of-the-century New York is published in its original form, along with four of Crane’s best short stories–The Blue Hotel, The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, The Monster, and The Open Boat–stories of such remarkable power and clarity that they stand among the finest short stories ever written by an American.
