Delphi Complete Works of Thomas Wolfe (Illustrated) / Delphi Series Twelve Bd.14 (ePub)

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 1930's American culture and the mores of that period, filtered through a sensitive and hyper-analytical perspective. His first novel, 'Look Homeward, Angel', 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 "the greatest talent of his generation". This eBook presents Wolfe's complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
