His literary contributions include 'NO MAN'S LAND (A WW1 Saga),' where he explores the harrowing experiences of war and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers. McNeile's style is characterized by a blend of action, suspense, and patriotism, often reflecting the attitudes and ethos of early 20th century Britain. He was adept at capturing the camaraderie among soldiers and the tension inherent in wartime experiences. Beyond his depiction of war, McNeile also wrote detective fiction and thrillers, contributing significantly to these genres. His work resonates with readers who appreciate a glimpse into the bygone era of the World War I setting, and with those who enjoy tales of heroism and adventure. McNeile passed away on August 14, 1937, but his legacy endures through the enduring appeal of his novels and the iconic character, Bulldog Drummond, who has seen numerous adaptations across various media.
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.
