Autorenportrait
Rudyard Kipling (18651936) stands amongst the most prominent figures in English literature, celebrated for his versatile and vivid storytelling (Norton Anthology of English Literature, 2006). Born in Bombay, India, Kipling's work is infused with the colors and complexities of the colonial experience. His literary career encompassed poetry, short stories, and novels. Kipling gained significant attention with his collection of stories in 'Plain Tales from the Hills' (1888) and continued to mesmerize readers with his iconic works such as 'The Jungle Book' (1894) and 'Kim' (1901). The 'RUDYARD KIPLING PREMIUM COLLECTION: His Greatest Works in One Volume (Illustrated)' is a testament to his prolific output and sustained appeal. Kipling's prose is characterized by its directness and rhythm, often reflecting the oral narrative tradition. Scholars have noted his mastery of language and ability to convey complex ideas with simplicity and power (Carrington, 1955). Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, Kipling's reputation has been subject to shifting critical viewpoints, balancing the recognition of his artistry with critiques of his imperialist perspectives (Kelly, 2003). Despite these debates, his influence on English literature remains substantial, with works that continue to captivate for their narrative skill and depth of imagination.
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.
