This story, however, isn't. ( ) Reading through the hard life of Maggie makes you think about how blessed you are to have what you have. Maggie, who grew up with terrible, drunken parents, just wants to find a guy that can support her and treat her with the respect that her parents didn't give her. But, turns out he doesn't care very much about her either. So, since her mom and brother wont have anything to do with her since she left them, they won't let her back when her boyfriend pete leaves her for another woman. Stephen Crane, being a writer during the Rise of Realism, did a good job using real life problems during his writing rather than fantasy and happy endings. If you want a short read, i would definitely recommend this book! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Published in 1893, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets shocked a world unprepared for its grim and starkly realistic exploration of a pretty young girl's fall on New York's Bowery, and its critical depiction of the irresponsibility of men toward women. The five other stories in this collection are tales of quiet tension and raw intensity. From the local color of small-town life to the bustle of the city to war stories imbued with an ironic view of heroism, these stories are brilliantly constructed, extraordinarily lyrical, and psychologically penetrating. As a whole, this masterful collection demonstrates the unique and stunning genius of Stephen Crane and makes up an enduring testimony to one of America's finest writers. Edited and with an Introduction by Alfred Kazin and an Afterword by Tom Wolfe Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
