Delphi Complete Works of George Washington Cable (Illustrated)
Author: George Washington Cable
Publisher: Delphi Classics
ISBN: 1801701784
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 3593
Book Description
George Washington Cable was an American author and reformer, noted for his stories dealing with Creole life in his native New Orleans. His early novels sought to recapture the picturesque times of the old French-Spanish city, while employing a realism that was new to Southern fiction. His works are characterised by freshness and charm, with a force of moral conviction. Although Cable was the son of slaveholders and fought in the Confederate cavalry, he saw slavery and attempts to deny freedmen full public rights as moral wrongs. He produced powerful essays and lectures, urging the cause of black rights in the face of violent abuse in the Southern press. Now regarded as the most important Southern writer of the late nineteenth century, Cable and his work would pave the way for the achievements of William Faulkner. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Cable’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

The first of the three ‘Great’ Popes, as listed in the ‘Annuario Pontificio’, Leo I served as Bishop of Rome from 440 until his death in 461. A Roman aristocrat and learned theologian, Leo famously convinced Attila the Hun to turn back from his invasion of Italy. He also issued the ‘Tome of Leo’, which was a major foundation to the debates of the Council of Chalcedon.
