À propos de cet audio

 Following its initial appearance in serial form, Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage was published as a complete work in 1895 and quickly became the benchmark for modern antiwar literature. In the character of Henry Flemming, Stephen Crane provides a great and realistic study of the mind of an inexperienced soldier trapped in the fury and turmoil of war. Flemming dashes into battle, at first tormented by fear, then bolstered with courage in time for the final confrontation.

Although the exact battle is never identified, Crane based this story of a soldier's experiences during the American Civil War on the 1863 Battle of Chancellorsville. Many veterans, both Union and Confederate, praised the book's accurate representation of war, and critics consider its stylistic strength the mark of a literary classic.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A classic work of American literature." (The New York Times)

This novel gives an impressionistic sense of a young man transformed by war. Though told in 3rd person, this story follows his existential angst throughout, from naive hopes for glory, to fear of shame and cowardice, to mistaken hubris, to finally battle-tested resolve and acquiescence. It is not a story of heroism though. It reveals all the ambiguities and ugliness of war and patriotism.

The voice actor was amazing. His resonance and pathos were spot on. The audio quality was a bit lacking but not distracting.

this novel is a classic and a great way to show what we think of war, what war is and how difficult it can be in battle.

Interesting story of turmoil a single soldier experienced during battle. It could be any battle, in any war. It's a story of the fear, confusion and anger of battle.

Oddly fascinating.
