Delphi Complete Works of Herodas (Illustrated) by Herodas Pdf

The Hellenistic poet Herodas composed mimes, short humorous dramatic scenes in verse, which were probably written in Alexandria during the 3rd century BC. They were a popular form of entertainment, in which one actor or a small group portrayed a situation from everyday life. The extant mimes of Herodas concentrate on depiction of character rather than plot. Written in the vigorous language of the people, they are of especial interest in the history of Greek literature as being a new species, illustrating Alexandrian methods. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Herodas’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Delphi Complete Works of Peter Cheyney (Illustrated) by Peter Cheyney Pdf

The British crime fiction writer Peter Cheyney is the creator of the American FBI agent Lemmy Caution and the English detective Slim Callaghan. These characters were constructed as a British response to the hardboiled detectives of American fiction. In later years Cheyney’s style matured with the ‘Dark’ books, drawing wide praise during World War II for bringing more realism to espionage fiction.

Delphi Complete Works of Thomas Eakins (Illustrated) by Thomas Eakins Pdf

The American realist painter Thomas Eakins is now widely acknowledged as one of the most important American artists, though during his lifetime he was a controversial figure whose work received little recognition. He worked exactingly from life, choosing as his subject the people of his hometown of Philadelphia. He produced several hundred portraits, usually of friends, family members, or prominent people in the arts and sciences, carrying the tradition of nineteenth century Realism to perhaps its highest achievement. His art was never compromised by the need to flatter patrons or sitters, and honesty was his only policy. His work served as an impetus for the burst of realism in American painting during the early years of the twentieth century, especially in the work of George Bellows and his circle. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Eakins’ complete paintings, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.
