The third violet. Crane S.

Stephen Crane (1871-1900)-the writer and founder of Verlibra in American poetry-wrote the novel "Third violet" in 1898. This is a love story of Billy Hoker, a hopeless artist-impressionist, and Grace Fengall, a rich girl who does not know the word “no”. Confusion, contradictions and unwillingness to concede - here it is the love of heroes, which can be compared with the relationship of Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zeldy. However, behind the delicate plot of the novel, Crane's social criticism is hidden, including the problems of dominance of the privileged class.
