To thwart the marriage the professor drags Marjory off with him and a group of students on a summer tour of Greece. Suddenly war erupts between Turkey and Greece! Will Rufus arrive in time to save the group? Will he redeem himself in the professor's eyes? Will the strife of war and trial of separation overcome the love between Rufus and Marjory? (Goodreads)
Acerca del autor
Stephen Crane, born on November 1, 1871, in Newark, New Jersey, was a pioneering American novelist, poet, and journalist whose work left an indelible mark on literature. Best known for his novel "The Red Badge of Courage," Crane's realistic portrayal of war and psychological depth revolutionized the genre, earning him a place among the most influential writers of his time.Crane's short life was marked by a series of adventures and controversies that would intrigue any modern reader. He worked as a journalist and war correspondent, covering conflicts such as the Greco-Turkish War and the Spanish-American War. His firsthand experiences in these tumultuous environments infused his writing with a raw authenticity that captivated audiences.Despite his literary success, Crane's life was fraught with scandal. His relationship with Cora Taylor, a brothel owner, and their unconventional lifestyle raised many eyebrows in conservative circles. Crane's fearless exploration of taboo subjects, such as prostitution and poverty, challenged societal norms and pushed the boundaries of acceptable literature.Crane's influence extended to contemporary writers like Ernest Hemingway and Joseph Conrad, who admired his concise, vivid prose and unflinching realism. His innovative narrative techniques and focus on the human psyche paved the way for modernist literature, making him a forerunner of the movement.Stephen Crane's legacy endures not only through his groundbreaking works but also through his daring life, which embodied the spirit of artistic rebellion and relentless pursuit of truth. His contributions continue to resonate, inspiring new generations to explore the complexities of the human condition.
