«La llama inmortal de Stephen Crane» is the literary biography of Stephen Crane by Paul Auster, published by Seix Barral in paperback (1040 pages, in Spanish).
Paul Auster reconstructs the life of Stephen Crane (1871-1900), author of The Red Badge of Courage, and portrays an era in which the United States leaves the Wild West behind to become a capitalist power. The narrative combines the career of the writer, journalist and poet with the atmosphere of New York and London at the end of the nineteenth century, and the tensions of a prosperity that conceals slavery and the extermination of indigenous peoples, while the first labour movements emerge.
The book belongs to the Los Tres Mundos collection from Seix Barral. The translation from English is by Benito Gómez Ibáñez. Stephen Crane met Joseph Conrad and Henry James, who praised his writing.
For readers interested in literary biographies, in the figure of Stephen Crane and in the transformation of the United States at the end of the nineteenth century.
