In his time, De Mille was a notable figure in the field of literature, penning a variety of genres including poetry, historical romance, and satire. 'A Castle in Spain', one of De Mille's many novels, exemplifies his flair for integrating adventure, wit and a detailed setting, which transports readers to exotic locales and intriguing circumstances. De Mille's work is characterized by his erudite prose and intricate plots. His narrative style often intertwines elements of the fantastical and the didactic, inviting readers to a world of escapism while subtly probing intellectual challenges. Although much of his work was popular during his lifetime, his literary reputation has fluctuated since his death. Posthumously, De Mille gained recognition for 'A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder,' which earned acclaim for its ahead-of-its-time satirical outlook on society. De Mille's contribution to Canadian and Victorian literature is still of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of 19th-century fiction. Despite being less well-known today, his books remain a testament to the diverse and vibrant literary culture of his 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.
