Autorenportrait

Charles Dudley Warner (18291900) was a distinguished American essayist, novelist, and editor, who co-authored 'The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today' with Mark Twain. Warner was born in Plainfield, Massachusetts, but spent most of his youth in Cazenovia, New York. He graduated from Hamilton College in 1851 and later pursued law in Philadelphia. Abandoning law for literature, Warner's literary career was notably marked by a keen observation of culture and nature. His book 'In the Wilderness', akin to his other works, reflected his distinctively charming and genteel writing style often serenely satirical and critically reflective. Warner's body of work celebrated the American landscape and society, explored in titles such as 'My Summer in a Garden' and 'Saunterings.' He also held significant editorial roles, including at Hartford's 'The Courant.' His essays were compiled in 'Library of the World's Best Literature,' which is an indication of his prominence in America's literary scene. In his writings, Warner sought to dissect the complexities of the human experience with humor and sincerity, making him a bridge between transcendentalism and realism. His legacy endures through his insightful contribution to American literature and his role in shaping the essay as a prominent literary form.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
