Beschreibung

Now regarded as one of the most imaginative prose writers of the nineteenth century, George Borrow was an English traveler, linguist and translator. His many adventures, including contact with the Romani, provided the inspiration for his travel book masterpiece ‘Lavengro’ and its sequel ‘The Romany Rye’ (1857). While working in Spain for a Bible society, Borrow found his literary homeland, providing materials for ‘The Zincali’ and for his brilliantly picturesque travel book ‘The Bible in Spain’, which was a tremendous success. This eBook presents Borrow’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    "A man's hunger for the world—the fury of youth, the mystery of time, and the pulse of a nation."
    
    In Of Time and the River, Thomas Wolfe paints a portrait of the artist as a young man on a grand scale. We follow Eugene Gant from the halls of Harvard University to the bustling streets of New York City and across the oceans to Europe. Driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge, experience, and love, Eugene grapples with the weight of his family's past and the overwhelming promise of the future. Wolfe's prose is legendary—vibrant, torrential, and deeply poetic—capturing the "buried life" of humanity and the sprawling, contradictory beauty of early 20th-century America.
    
    The "Hunger" of Youth: Eugene Gant is one of literature's most relatable seekers. His journey is defined by a frantic desire to read every book, meet every person, and see every sight. Wolfe perfectly captures that specific time in life when the world feels both impossibly large and urgently within reach.
    
    A Symphony of Time: As the title suggests, the novel is obsessed with the flow of time—both the relentless "river" of history and the private, internal time of memory. Wolfe explores how we are shaped by the ghosts of our ancestors and the fleeting moments that define our identity.
    
    Why It Is a Masterpiece: Of Time and the River is more than a story; it is an experience. It is a book for anyone who has ever felt "homesick for a place they've never been." Wolfe's ability to find the epic in the everyday makes this one of the most powerful and enduring works of American Modernism.

    In the comfortable English Dorsetshire village of Anneypenny in the 1930s, fruit farmer Douglas Sewell – narrator of the story – sees his friend John die in agony. The death certificate states gastric ulcers but the post mortem’s revealing of poison punctures Anneypenny’s idyllic backdrop. Soon every friend and neighbour seems to harbour something suspicious. Douglas challenges his readers, or listeners, to answer the key questions before throwing out several scenarios and turning them upside-down in a tantalising path to the truth. 
    A journalist as well as a novelist, Anthony Berkeley was a founding member of the Detection Club and one of crime fiction’s greatest innovators. He was one of the first to predict the development of the ‘psychological’ crime novel.
