Publisher's Summary:
Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was a prolific American poet, novelist and short story writer. He is recognised by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. 'The Open Boat' is probably Stephen Crane's best known and most admired story. It tells the adventure of four sailors, the captain, the oiler, the cook and the correspondent, who are sole survivors of a shipwreck at sea in a small rowing boat off the coast of Florida.
The camaraderie of the four, juxtaposed against the individual struggles which each has with his own mortality and the complete indifference in which the universe holds their fate, creates an atmosphere and dramatic tension as they face their last battle for life.
Members Reviews:
A vigorous storyteller
Hemingway thought Crane was an example to young writers - and I thought that he meant exactly that, because Crane's prose certainly feels youthful: direct, energetic, deep and yet unpretentious. Just a very good storyteller. He died young, only 28, which is an immense pity, because a more mature Crane would be nothing less than legend.
Superb writing!!
I had to read this short story for an American Literature assignment, and was I astonished at the writing style of Crane. Describing the brutalities of the sea and the hardships of these four men is a true gift of this writer. I highly recommend!
Read if you want to be moved
I had to read this book for my Transatlantic Literature course and I am amazed at Crane's ability to use nature as not only a backdrop but the antagonist of the story. Love love love and highly recommend.
Real writing
I read in many different genres and when I read wonderfully written works, almost always written decades ago, the poor diction, grammar and editing in current writing is remarkable.
The Open Boat is wonderfully written.
Lifeboat
A great survival at sea story. Crane himself tells about being w three others in a dinghy off the coast of Florida after their vessel, a steamboat, sinks. There's no exposition or background on anyone. It's very post-modern. Highly recommended.
