These vigorous pictures were among the very last work done by the lamented pen which gave us "The Red Badge of Courage."

Stephen Crane writes a tragic story depicting the cycle of abuse, and the impact it has on those involved. A young boy finds a homeless dog, desperate for love, and brings him into his home.

Freddie los observaba con la mirada irónica de un hombre al preparar un trago.
