Delphi Complete Works of Thomas Wolfe (Illustrated)

e-book


The early 20th century American novelist Thomas Wolfe produced highly original, poetic, rhapsodic and impressionistic prose, framed in the guise of autobiographical writing. His novels vividly reflect on 1930ā€™s American culture and the mores of that period, filtered through a sensitive and hyper-analytical perspective. His first novel, ā€˜Look Homeward, Angelā€™, is now widely regarded as an American classic, characterised for its intense consciousness of scene and place, combined with an extraordinary lyric power. Wolfe imbues his life story with a lofty romantic quality, employing epic overtones. After Wolfe's untimely death at the age of thirty-seven, William Faulkner described him as ā€œthe greatest talent of his generationā€. This eBook presents Wolfeā€™s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
