Autorenportrait

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (18561925) was an English writer primarily known for his adventure novels set in exotic locales, predominantly Africa. He attained widespread popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with a literary career that spanned over three decades. Among his renowned works, the character Allan Quatermain, an English adventurer and the protagonist in 'King Solomon's Mines' (1885) and its sequels, has left an indelible mark on the adventure genre. Haggard's oeuvre includes 'ALLAN QUATERMAIN Complete Series: 18 Adventure Books in One Volume', which brings together the thrilling escapades of his acclaimed hero. His narratives are celebrated for their imaginative integration of adventure with themes of lost civilizations and ancient myths, influenced by his experiences in South Africa during the 1870s where he served as a colonial administrator. Haggard belonged to the literary school of imperialism, where his presentation of the African continent intersected with Victorian readers' fascination with the unknown. With a knack for detail and suspense, Haggard's storytelling prowess made him a pioneer in the 'Lost World' sub-genre of literature. His work has been adapted numerous times for film, television, and radio, cementing his place as an influential figure in both literature and popular culture.

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.
