Delphi Collected Works of Romain Rolland (Illustrated)
Romain Rolland was an early twentieth century French novelist, dramatist and essayist. Throughout his life he was a fervent idealist, deeply involved with pacifism, the fight against fascism, the search for world peace and the analysis of artistic genius, which was a recurring theme of his works. In 1915 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature as “a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings”.

The Christopher Lee Filmography
The career of Christopher Lee has stretched over half a century in every sort of film from comedy to horror and in such diverse roles as the Man With the Golden Gun, Frankenstein's monster, Fu Manchu and Sherlock Holmes. From Corridor of Mirrors in 1948 to Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones in 2002, this reference book covers 166 theatrical feature films: all production information, full cast and crew credits, a synopsis, and a critical analysis, with a detailed account of its making and commentary drawn from some thirty hours of interviews with Lee himself. Two appendices list Lee's television feature films and miniseries and his short films. The work concludes with an afterword by Christopher Lee himself. Photographs from the actor's private collection are included.
The Companion Series
Timeless. Beautiful. Dangerous. 1816 — the Year Without a Summer — resulted in two of literature’s most feared and beloved creations. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Doctor Polidori’s Vampyre. American biographer Rachel Walton attained international recognition for her Shelley bio, unearthing the horrific events which jolted Frankenstein and his wretch into existence on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. What she hadn’t expected during her research was to fall in love with a man of gigantic structure, of uncommon beauty, of intriguing origin. Her research for the Polidori biography proves as startling. The publication of his Vampyre tale unearths a gothic horror that crawls from beneath the sod into London’s ballrooms, grand townhomes, and hotels; daring to invade the salons and bedchambers of the Royal family to satisfy its thirst. And despite the impossibility of her findings, Rachel must again confront the unexpected horror and consequences of true love. Digital Bundle includes the entire series: Fire on the Water: A Companion to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Origin of the Vampyre: A Companion to Doctor Polidori's Vampyre
Fire on the Water
Rachel Walton is a young American biographer researching the life of Mary Shelley and her iconic novel and creature on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. But as she delves into the contents of an ancient document trunk that for generations has remained locked, she is repeatedly confronted by a man of gigantic structure, of uncommon beauty, of intriguing origin. The escalating threads of her investigation unexpectedly exhume aspects of Shelley's creation from the past, hacking and suturing precious memories to the unthinkable, stripping back the unblemished flesh to reveal what lies beneath. With aspects of Frankenstein torn from the pages of the nineteenth century and rewritten into the twenty-first, Rachel uncovers the truth of the summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley dared to dip her quill into the ink of her darkest waking dream. And ultimately, if she is to complete the biography, she has no option but to confront the horror of true love.
