Born in Argentina, W. H. Hudson was a late Victorian author, naturalist and ornithologist, best known today for his exotic romances, including his masterpiece ‘Green Mansions’. He also published important works of non-fiction, including a series of books on the English countryside, which due to their imaginative descriptions helped foster the “back-to-nature” movement of the 1920’s and 1930’s.

A second century Macedonian rhetorician, Polyaenus composed ‘Stratagems’, a historical collection of maxims on military strategy, outlining the exploits of famous generals from the Greek and Roman world. The work was dedicated to the emperors Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius, to aid them in their Roman-Parthian War of 161-166. Despite its many errors of judgment and fact, the eight books of ‘Stratagems’ offer much historical value, regaling tales of past glories, cunning exploits and entertaining anecdotes.

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. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Camus’ life and works * Concise introductions to the major texts * The complete novels (published in Camus’ lifetime) and short stories, with individual contents tables * Images of how the books were first published, giving your eReader a taste of the original texts * Excellent formatting of the texts * Rare essays and plays * Ordering of texts into chronological order and genres Please note: the posthumous novels ‘A Happy Death’ and ‘The First Man’ cannot appear due to copyright restrictions.
