Über den Autor
Stephen Crane wrote this novel with no first-hand familiarity with war, but it was praised by Civil War veterans as an authentic depiction of their battlefield experiences and emotions.

He began his professional career as a journalist at the age of 16, and later became a war correspondent in the Greco-Turkish conflict and the Spanish American War in Cuba. Other important works include the novel Maggie: A Girl of the Streets; short stories The Open Boat, The Monster, and The Blue Hotel; and poems The Black Riders and War is Kind. Stephen Crane died of Tuberculosis at the age of 29.
