{"product_id":"2940170720538","title":"Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and other Stories","description":"First published in 1893, \u003ci\u003eMaggie: A Girl of the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e is the first published fiction work of American author Stephen Crane. A harrowing depiction of a pretty young girl's life in the slums of turn-of-the-century New York City and her eventual decline into prostitution, Crane's novel is a starkly realistic examination of poverty and the challenges brought about by the rapid industrialization the United States underwent in the late 1800s. An enduring classic, \u003ci\u003eMaggie\u003c\/i\u003e is often regarded as the first example of naturalism in American fiction, a literary movement that included such authors as Theodore Dreiser and Upton Sinclair. This edition also includes three of Crane's short stories: \"The Monster,\" \"The Blue Hotel,\" and \"His New Mittens.\"","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115565269232,"sku":"2940170720538","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170720538_p0.jpg?v=1763816739","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170720538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
