Burning boy - The Life and Work of Stephen Crane (Broché)

Best known as the author of The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane produced an avalanche of sublime writing before his death at the age of just twenty-eight. His short life was a dramatic one : from crushing poverty as a newcomer to Manhattan and his near-drowning in a shipwreck, to his stint as a war correspondent in Cuba and international fame at twenty-five, to his final years in England and friendships with Joseph Conrad and Henry James.
In Burning Boy, Paul Atister inspires us - with an infectiously loving portrait - to reconsider a genius.
