Title: Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and Other Stories

Author: Stephen Crane

Narrator: Dick Hill

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 30 minutes

Release date: June 22, 2011

Genres: Short Stories

Publisher's Summary:

First published in 1893, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets is the first published fiction work of American author Stephen Crane. A harrowing depiction of a pretty young girl's life in the slums of turn-of-the-century New York City and her eventual decline into prostitution, Crane's novel is a starkly realistic examination of poverty and the challenges brought about by the rapid industrialization the United States underwent in the late 1800s. An enduring classic, Maggie is often regarded as the first example of naturalism in American fiction, a literary movement that included such authors as Theodore Dreiser and Upton Sinclair. This edition also includes three of Crane's short stories: 'The Monster,' 'The Blue Hotel,' and 'His New Mittens.'
