Delphi Complete Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald (Illustrated)


Book Description

Widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the modern era, F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered a member of the “Lost Generation” of the 1920’s. His masterpiece ‘The Great Gatsby’, a 1925 Jazz Age tale about the impossibility of recapturing the past, was initially a failure. Today, the story of Gatsby’s doomed love for the unattainable Daisy is judged by many to be the greatest novel of the 20th century. Fitzgerald was also a writer of numerous short stories, plays and essays, revealing the incredible breadth of his literary talents. This comprehensive eBook presents Fitzgerald’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Delphi Complete Works of Epictetus (Illustrated)


Book Description

A Greek Stoic philosopher of the first and second century, Epictetus settled permanently in Nicopolis in Epirus, where he founded his own school, which he called a ‘healing place for sick souls.’ There he taught a practical philosophy, which has been recorded by his principal student Arrian, the famous author of the historical work ‘Anabasis of Alexander’.
