Esta obra maestra de Stephen Crane, La roja insignia del valor, nos describe con terrible y desolada ironía un episodio de la guerra civil nortemericana. La novela constituye un valioso ejemplo del género de relato bélico, en el que se mezclan saviamente elementos reales y ficticios.

Good grief! What a load of crap -
I only got through it b/c it was an audiobook - but it was slow torture. It was like the author had taken some writing course like IEW and was set to add all the 'dress-ups' - it was SO unnecessarily wordy. But by the same token, the same writing course should have added some new 'banned' words for this particular author: tremendous, ironical, and presently, were used continually, and the same phrases kept coming up: the corpes were twisted into tremendous shapes. Later: the corpses were twisted into fantastic shapes. And again: the corpses were twisted into impossible shapes. Do corpses ever just lie there?
Plus, I think the author may have made up words as he went along: anyone think catapultian is a real word?
