Описание:

The Monster and Other Stories (1899) is a collection of short fiction by American writer Stephen Crane. The Monster, a novella, was originally published in 1898 in Harpers Magazine and has since been recognized as one of Cranes most important works, a story which critiques the racism prevalent in American society. In 1899, it was published alongside The Blue Hotel and His New Mittens in The Monster and Other Stories, which was the last work by Crane to be published during his lifetime.

In The Monster, set in the fictional town of Whilomville, an African American coachmen employed by the wealthy Trescott family is horribly disfigured while attempting to save their young son Jimmie from a house fire. Despite his gruesome injuries, Henry Johnson survives, and Dr. Trescott gratefully nurses him back to health and offers him a place to stay on the family property. Meanwhile, the white townspeople, who view Johnson as a monster, vilify the Trescotts for transgressing the unspoken rules of racial segregation. As Johnson attempts to return to some sense of normalcy, he is rejected both by the African American and white communities, and retreats into a lonely, quiet life. The Blue Hotel is a story of violence, fate, and hatred, of a place where loneliness reigns among strangers, and where fear is a troublesome friend.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Stephen Cranes The Monster and Other Stories is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
