Book Delphi Collected Works of P  G  Wodehouse  Illustrated

Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of P G Wodehouse Illustrated written by P. G. Wodehouse and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2021-01-23 with total page 8300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An English comic novelist and short story writer, P. G. Wodehouse is best known as the creator of the young bachelor Bertie Wooster and his effortlessly superior manservant Jeeves. Wodehouse penned over 90 books and secured a devoted readership across the world. His first success came as a writer of public school stories, based on his own childhood experiences, most notably introducing the strikingly original character, Psmith. These were followed by light romances, but in 1913, with the publication of the first Blandings Castle novel, ‘Something New’, he turned to farce, which became his preferred genre of work. Wodehouse is celebrated for his scholarly command of the English sentence, blended with vivid, far-fetched imagery and the uproarious slang of the late Edwardian era. His novels feature highly complicated plots and hilarious situations, revealing the hand of a master humorist. This comprehensive eBook offers the most complete edition possible of P. G. Wodehouse, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Delphi Complete Works of Izaak Walton  Illustrated

Download or read book Delphi Complete Works of Izaak Walton Illustrated written by Izaak Walton and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 1588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth century Englishman Izaak Walton is the celebrated author of ‘The Compleat Angler’, a pastoral discourse on the joys and stratagems of fishing that has become one of the most frequently reprinted books of English literature. The unpretentious treatise, of which Walton declined to claim authorship on its first appearance, became a household book from the eighteenth century. Though many of its devotees have been fishermen, Walton’s engaging style in dialogue and description, his enthusiasm for innocent outdoor recreation and his love for the past have elevated ‘The Compleat Angler’ out of the category of handbooks into a unique status. Walton also wrote a number of short biographies, later collected under the title of ‘Walton's Lives’, which are now considered to be seminal examples of biographical literature. This comprehensive eBook presents Walton’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Walton’s life and works * Concise introductions to the texts * Two editions of ‘The Compleat Angler’: the first edition and the final fifth edition * Features the complete ‘Walton's Lives’ * Includes ‘Waltoniana’, the author’s posthumously collected prose and poetical works * Excellent formatting of the texts * Easily locate the sections you want to read with individual contents tables * Features two biographies, including Andrew Lang’s famous introduction to ‘The Compleat Angler’ – immerse yourself in Walton’s world * Scholarly ordering of texts into chronological order and literary genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles CONTENTS: The Books The Compleat Angler Walton’s Lives Waltoniana The Biographies Izaak Walton by George Clement Boase Introduction to the Compleat Angler by Andrew Lang Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles or to purchase this eBook as a Parts Edition of individual eBooks
