Beschreibung
The Collected Novels of E. M. Delafield brings together six unabridged editions of some of the author's most iconic works, showcasing her wit, humor, and incisive social commentary. Delafield's literary style is characterized by sharp dialogue, nuanced character development, and a keen eye for detailing the lives of women in early 20th century England. Her novels offer a glimpse into the domestic concerns, societal expectations, and gender roles of the time, making them valuable sources for understanding the period's cultural milieu. E. M.

Her unique perspective as a woman navigating the complexities of social class and gender dynamics informs her work and makes her novels both entertaining and thought-provoking reads. I highly recommend The Collected Novels of E. M. Delafield to readers interested in literature from the early 20th century, feminist perspectives, or social satire. Delafield's timeless narratives continue to resonate with contemporary audiences, offering a window into the past while raising relevant questions about the present.
Autorenportrait
E. M. Delafield, the pen name of Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood (née de la Pasture), was a distinguished English author renowned for her subtle wit and keen observation of domestic life. Born on June 9, 1890, Delafield's literary career spanned the tumultuous years of the early 20th century, during which she adeptly captured the essence of the British middle class. Her most famous work is undoubtedly 'Diary of a Provincial Lady', which was serialized in 'Time and Tide'. This novel, along with her other works, is included in the 'Collected Novels of E. M. Delafield (6 Unabridged Editions in One Volume)', offering readers an ample sampling of her narrative charm and her incisive commentaries on the quotidian aspects of life. Delafield's style was characterized by its acerbic wit and social satire, often providing a humorous female perspective on the comparatively rigid societal norms of her time. Through her extensive body of work, E. M. Delafield has secured her place in the pantheon of significant English writers. Her books continue to engage scholars and general readers alike, providing a window into the life of the period between the two World Wars and the position of women in society during that era.
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.
