Autorenportrait
Robert Byron (19051941) was a noted British travel writer, art critic, and historian, best remembered for his profound contributions to the documentation and appreciation of Byzantine art and architecture. Byron's seminal work, 'The Byzantine Achievement' (1929), is an erudite exploration of Byzantine civilization, focusing on its monumental artistic and architectural heritage. His literary style is marked by vivid description, scholarly depth, and a wry sense of humor, offering readers an engaging narrative that is both informative and entertaining. Byron was educated at Eton and Merton College, Oxford, where his passion for art and architecture flourished. His travel writings go beyond mere observation; they provide insightful cultural analysis and a timeless perspective on the places he explores. Byron's journeys often led to remote and less-frequented paths, imbuing his work with a sense of adventure and discovery. Though his life was tragically cut short during World War II, his works remain a testament to his talent and a valuable resource for those interested in Byzantine culture. Byron's contribution to art history and travel literature has cemented his status as a distinguished figure in 20th-century English literature.
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.
