Delphi Complete Works of James Branch Cabell (Illustrated)
Author: James Branch Cabell
Publisher: Delphi Classics
ISBN: 1801700192
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 4760
Book Description
The mid-twentieth century American author James Branch Cabell made a significant contribution to the development of fantasy fiction. Famous exponents of the genre such as ‘Jurgen’ and ‘The Silver Stallion’ are noted for their satirical and mannered style, sexual symbolism and for exploring a unique philosophy of life. His landmark series of books, entitled ‘Biography of the Life of Manuel’, are set in the imaginary medieval province of Poictesme, offering the reader an escape from real life, while employing a sceptical view of human experience. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Cabell’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, many rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Cabell’s life and works * Concise introductions to the major texts * The complete ‘Biography of the Life of Manuel’, with individual contents tables * Special ‘Storisende Index’ page, with hyperlinks to the series in narrative order * Features many rare books appearing for the first time in digital publishing * Images of how the books were first published, giving your eReader a taste of the original texts * Excellent formatting of the texts * Famous works are fully illustrated with their original artwork * The complete ‘Heirs and Assigns’ trilogy * The complete ‘The Nightmare Has Triplets’ trilogy * Rare poetry, stories and essays available in no other collection * Cabell’s autobiography, digitised here for the first time * Features the important collection of essays ‘Quiet, Please’ * Ordering of texts into chronological order and genres Please note: ‘The St Johns’ (1943), a non-fiction book and the first part of the ‘It Happened in Florida’ trilogy, was co-written with Alfred J.
