Autorenportrait

Percival Christopher Wren (18751941) was an English writer, most renowned for his adventure fiction set in exotic locales, particularly the French Foreign Legion. He is best recognized for his novel 'Beau Geste', a book that epitomizes the romantic allure of the Legion, and which has been adapted into several films and inspired numerous imitators. Born in Deptford, Greater London, Wren served in the British Army and later in education in India, drawing from these experiences to color his narrative worlds. His career as a published author began in the 1910s, achieving significant popularity in the 1920s with his swashbuckling tales. Among his works, the 'Beau Geste' trilogy is regarded as the centerpiece, showcasing his unique blend of adventure, comradeship, and the stoicism of British protagonists in harsh settings. Wren's literary style is often characterized by an old-fashioned sense of honor and heroism, imbued with a romantic but sometimes critical depiction of colonial life and military adventure. His books remain an essential part of early 20th-century popular literature and inform historical perceptions of the French Foreign Legion. Wren's bibliography is extensive, including several volumes of short stories and novels, all of which are encapsulated in 'The Complete Works of P.C. Wren', an anthology that serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a master storyteller of imperial adventure.

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.
