di Stephen Crane (Autore)

SPA Publishing, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A gripping exploration of fear, courage, and the brutal reality of war, The Red Badge of Courage is one of the most powerful and enduring works of American literature. Written by Stephen Crane and first published in 1895, this groundbreaking novel delivers a visceral, unflinching portrayal of a young soldier's psychological journey during the American Civil War. The story follows Henry Fleming, a naïve Union recruit who dreams of glory on the battlefield. But when faced with the chaos and horror of actual combat, Henry is consumed by fear and flees from the fight. Wracked with guilt and desperate to prove himself, he begins a personal quest for redemption—a journey that forces him to confront the meaning of honor, manhood, and the true nature of courage. Through vivid imagery and deep psychological insight, Crane immerses listeners in the smoke-filled battlefields and emotional turmoil of war—not through grand patriotic speeches, but through the raw, inner struggles of an ordinary young man. Praised for its realism, impressionistic style, and bold break from romanticized war fiction, The Red Badge of Courage remains a landmark in literary history. This audiobook edition brings Crane’s classic to life with dramatic intensity, making it a must-listen for fans of historical fiction, American literature, and coming-of-age stories forged in the crucible of conflict.
