The Red Badge of Courage & Other Stories (Wordsworth Classics)

Reports on the American Civil War through the eyes of Henry Fleming, an ordinary farm boy turned soldier. This novel evokes the chaos and the dull clatter of war: the acrid smoke, the incessant rumours of coming battles, the filth and cold, the numbing monotony, the unworldly wailing of the dying.

Rapoarte despre razboiul civil american prin ochii lui Henry Fleming, un baiat de ferma obisnuit devenit soldat. Acest roman evoca haosul si zgomotul plictisitor al razboiului: fumul acru, zvonurile neincetate despre bataliile care vin, murdaria si frigul, monotonia amortitoare, plangerile necunoscute ale muribundului.
