A study of race and tolerance as well as the challenges posed by deformity, this major work by the author of The Red Badge of Courage originally appeared in 1898. The last of Stephen Crane's work to be published in his lifetime, the story was rediscovered in the mid-twentieth century and acclaimed by Ralph Ellison as \"one of the parents of the modern American novel.\"\nThis volume also features two additional short stories by Crane: \"The Blue Hotel,\" in which a nervous visitor is led astray by his own preconceptions about the Wild West, and \"His New Mittens,\" the touching tale of a little boy who allows himself to be goaded into a snowball fight and attempts to outrun his mistake.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486790258\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0486790258.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dover Thrift Editions|Crane, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
