Stephen Crane
(3,817 Sterne; 30 Bewertungen)
Stephen Crane's first novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets has been called "the first dark flower of American Naturalism" for its distinctive elements of naturalistic fiction. The chief character, Maggie, descends into prostitution after being led astray by her lover. Rather than focusing on those that make up the very rich or middle class, the novel highlights the deplorable living conditions of the working class during the so-called Gilded Age in New York's Bowery.

Steven Crane weaves magic with this wonderful descriptive story. The dialect of the streets is magnificent and all of the readers were energetic and added so much to the story. Loved the book.

Great author, terrible story! Crane is a fabulous auther, but the subject matter is sad and the characters desperately lost.
