On a cold day by a river, the 304th New York Infantry Regiment braces for battle as eighteen-year-old Private Henry Fleming grapples with his fears and memories of enlistment amid his mother's protests. The narrative follows Fleming's journey through the challenges of war, exploring themes of courage, flight, and redemption. Originally published in 1895, The Red Badge of Courage garnered widespread acclaim for its modern realism and quickly established author Stephen Crane as a literary sensation. This bestselling classic is now brought to life through Michael Ward's engaging narration.
