Autorenportrait
Zola, Émile/Gautier, Théophile/Balzac, Honoré de u a
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a 19th century French author, remembered as a master of the short story form, and as a representative of the Naturalist school, who depicted human lives and destinies and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms. Maupassant was a protégé of Gustave Flaubert and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, effortless outcomes. Many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s, describing the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught up in events beyond their control, are permanently changed by their experiences. He wrote some 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse.Pierre Louÿs was a French poet and writer, most renowned for lesbian and classical themes in some of his writings. He is known as a writer who sought to "express pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection". He was made first a Chevalier and then an Officer of the Légion d'honneur for his contributions to French literature.Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and art and literary critic. While an ardent defender of Romanticism, Gautier's work is difficult to classify and remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism.Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. Balzac suffered from health problems throughout his life, possibly due to his intense writing schedule. His relationship with his family was often strained by financial and personal drama, and he lost more than one friend over critical reviews. In 1850, Balzac married Ewelina Haska, a Polish aristocrat and his longtime love; he died in Paris five months later.Émile Zola was born April 2, 1840 in Paris, France. In 1865 he published his controversial first novel, La Confession de Claude . In the following years he continued his journalism career in while publishing two novels. In 1868, he decided to write a large-scale series of novels, Les Rougon-Macquart. As the founder of the naturalist movement, Zola also published several treatises to explain his theories on art. He died on September 28, 1902.

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 es verschiedene (Datei-)Formate für E-Books gibt, gilt es dabei einiges zu beachten.

Von uns werden digitale Bücher hauptsächlich in zwei Formaten ausgeliefert: EPUB und PDF. Je nach Verlag und Titel kann zu dem Format eine Form vom Kopierschutz (DRM=Digital Rights Management) gehören. Sie können Format und Form des DRM der Detailansicht des Titels entnehmen. 

- Bei E-Books ohne DRM (DRM: Nicht vorhanden) müssen Sie lediglich sicherstellen, dass Ihr E-Book Reader, Software oder App das Format (EPUB oder PDF) öffnen kann.
- Der Kopierschutz per Digitalem Wasserzeichen (DRM: Digitales Wasserzeichen) speichert Daten zum Download des Buches direkt in der Datei, die ggf. gerichtlich ausgelesen werden können. Genau wie E-Books ohne DRM können diese Titel ohne Beschränkung kopiert und auf verschiedenen Geräten gespeichert werden, sind allerdings rückverfolgbar.
- Wenn ein Format mit "hartem" Kopierschutz gekoppelt ist (DRM: Adobe DRM), besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Account besitzen (genannt Adobe® ID). Nach dem Kauf eines solchen Titels erhalten Sie per Download zunächst eine Übertragungsdatei (URLlink.acsm). Stellen Sie sicher, dass in Ihrer Software (z.B. Adobe® Digital Editions), Ihrer App oder in ihrem Reader die zuvor erwähnte Adobe ID (Ihre E-Mail-Adresse und Ihr Passwort) hinterlegt sind.
Beim ersten Öffnen der Übertragungsdatei im E-Book-Programm oder auf dem Reader wird das Buch untrennbar mit der Adobe ID verknüpft, mit der die Software / das Gerät angemeldet ist.
!! Sollte zu diesem Zeitpunkt keine ID angelegt sein, kann das E-Book nur auf diesem Gerät (Reader oder Computer) gelesen werden und nirgendwo sonst !!
Achten Sie bei der Übertragung von E-Books darauf, dass die selbe Adobe® ID benutzt wird, wie zum ersten Öffnen.

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 häufig auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
Die Rückgabe von digitalen Inhalten ist technisch bedingt nicht möglich.
