Delphi Collected Works of Euclid (Illustrated)
The father of geometry, Euclid was a Greek mathematician active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323-283 BC). His treatise on geometry, ‘Elements’, is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics from the time of its first publication until the early twentieth century. In the ‘Elements’, Euclid deduces the theorems of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid compiled his treatise from a number of works of earlier mathematicians including Pythagoras, Hippocrates of Chios and Eudoxus of Cnidus, preserving many otherwise lost ideas. One of the very earliest mathematical works to be printed after the invention of the printing press, it has been estimated that ‘Elements’ is second only to the Bible in the number of editions published. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.

Delphi Collected Works of Albert Camus (Illustrated)
The master of absurdism, Albert Camus was a French novelist, philosopher and playwright, best known for his seminal masterpieces ‘The Stranger’, ‘The Plague’ and ‘The Rebel’. His writings explore the isolation of man in an alien universe, the estrangement of the individual from himself, the problem of evil and the finality of death, encapsulating the disillusionment of the postwar intellectual. His final works sketch the outlines of a liberal humanism that reject the dogmatic aspects of Christianity and Marxism. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44 — the second-youngest recipient in history. This eBook presents Camus’ collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
