Great Story, Good Kindle Edition Unlike many others I was never required to read "The Red Badge of Courage" in High School. When I saw that it was among the many other classics that are now available for free on the Kindle I happily took the opportunity to read it; I am glad that I did.There are plenty of reviews of the novel itself on the print version, so first a note about the Kindle Edition of this book: I found no typos or poor formatting of the text throughout the Kindle Edition, which is a nice change from many. Not a kids' book As a British reader, I just recently read and reviewed this book over on Amazon.co.uk, and I thought I'd have a look at the US reviews for comparison - and immediately realised that this is obviously a "set book" in US schools. I can see the logic - the book is about a young person, it's short and (superficially) exciting, with lots of action, and it has some good moral/ethical themes ripe for class discussion.Nonetheless, I was not surprised to see a number of negative reviews from ki. Classics are not always Classic This book is a classic, I am supposed to love it and be in awe. I was also supposed to read it in 9th grade. I failed on both accounts. I simply did not get it. I had to go to Wikipedia to see what the story was supposed to meanyes I understand the growth into manhood, but that was not enough to keep me engaged. The narrative descriptions were wonderful, but beyond that I was not impressed. Maybe it was a piece of predominate literature for the time, perhaps if I had read it in the 9th
This volume offers both the slightly different serial version and the finished work. Crane's Badge was originally serialized in the New York Press in 1894, a year before the story was published in novel form. . Though every library no doubt has numerous copies of Red Badge, academic and public libraries supporting American literature curricula should pop for this one, too, especially at the price.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

First published in 1895, America's greatest novel of the Civil War was written before 21-year-old Stephen Crane had "smelled even the powder of a sham battle." But this powerful psychological study of a young soldier's struggle with the horrors, both within and without, that war strikes the reader with its undeniable realism and with its masterful descriptions of the moment-by-moment riot of emotions felt by me under fire. Ernest Hemingway called the novel an American classic, and Crane's genius is as much apparent in his sharp, colorful prose as in his ironic portrayal of an episode of war so intense, so immediate, so real that the terror of battle becomes our own in a masterpiece so unique that many believe modern American fiction began with Stephen Crane.
