About the Author
Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was an American author and journalist. Though, he died young but his writings made a lasting impact on the American literature, especially his novel The Red Badge of Courage (1895), a gripping story about a young soldier’s experiences in the Civil War. Crane also wrote short stories like ‘The Open Boat’ and ‘The Blue Hotel,’ which highlight human struggles against nature and fate. His style broke away from traditional storytelling, using sharp imagery and deep emotional insight to capture the raw side of life. A pioneer of literary realism and naturalism, Crane continues to influence writers and engage readers with his honest, often gritty look at the challenges people face in extreme situations.
