{"product_id":"9781596254930","title":"Maggie: A Girl of the Streets","description":"In 1892 Stephen Crane (1871-1900) published \u003ci\u003eMaggie, Girl of the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e at his own expense.  Considered at the time to be immature, it was a failure. Since that time it has come to be considered one of the earliest American realistic novels. \u003ci\u003eMaggie\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a pretty child of the Bowery which is written with the same intensity and vivid scenes of his masterpiece -- \u003ci\u003eThe Red Badge of Courage\u003c\/i\u003e. In her short life, Maggie \"blossomed in a mud puddle\", was driven to prostitution, and died by her own hand while still a teenager.  \u003cp\u003e  Crane, who worked as a free lance reporter, was in many ways addicted to the low life of the cities. He died at the age of 29.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neeland Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175209713904,"sku":"9781596254930","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596254930_p0.jpg?v=1763810326","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596254930","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
