Excerpt from George's Mother
A brown young man went along the avenue.' He held a tin lunch-pail under his arm in a manner that was evidently uncomfortable. He was puffing at a corn cob pipe. His shoulders had a self-reliant poise, and the hang of his arms and the raised veins of his hands showed him to be a man who worked with his muscles.

George Mother Classic Reprint Stephen Crane Books
In the slums of 19th century New York, people struggled to survive or struggled to get out. We meet the same conditions described in "Maggie: Girl of the Streets" in this brief novel as well. In fact, we even meet Maggie briefly. George is your typical "honest toiler" living with his mom in neat, clean, penury. Perhaps the author wished to create a whole panorama or series of portraits of slum New York in the style of Balzac or Zola, but he didn't live to do so. The short but brilliant, often ironic portrait is of a man on the slide. Sliding down. Falling in with the superficially friendly company of "fine fellows", George begins to drink, miss work, fight, lie, and hang out with a gang. His mother berates him to no use. The end is predictable. Perhaps this is far from an original story, but its execution is excellent. At the time, the boastful, aggressive, but often cowardly and bullying behavior of the slum youths was far from the more idealistic, moralizing tone of other authors. Crane was a Realist indeed. We don't have much of his work to remember as he died so young (29). You can read this short work and regret his death.Product details
