On December 31, 1896, in the context of the Spanish-American War for the independence of Cuba, the tugboat Commodore sets sail from the port of Jacksonville towards Cienfuegos. About thirty men travel with a cargo of five tons of weapons and ammunition for the Cuban rebels. Among the crew is the writer and journalist Stephen Crane, who transforms this critical moment of his life into a masterful narration about the struggle for survival in the face of the ocean's indifference. This edition includes a prologue by Joseph Conrad.
Stephen Crane was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation.
