Centuries ago, the ancient Greeks considered Delphi, the sacred seat of the Pythian oracle, to be the centre of the world. Men and women from numerous nations would make the perilous journey to this special city, hoping to glean the wisdom of the gods. Today, readers of eBooks can make that mythic journey to Delphi with a little less risk. Comfortably seated at home, or on a train to work, or by a table in your favourite coffee shop, settle back and relax as we summon to your eReader screen the priceless masterpieces of the ancient, classic, vintage and modern world.
We are a publishing team that blends our love of classic literature and art with consummate eBook editing skills. What separates Delphi Classics from other digital publishers of classic literature is our dedication to providing the actual complete works of authors, as we seek out rare and ‘lost’ texts to add to our attractive editions. For the first time in publishing history, readers can enjoy the complete works of writers such as Virginia Woolf, Mark Twain, James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, Beatrix Potter and many, many more in a single edition. And each collection is charged at less than the price of a cup of coffee.
Our eBooks provide chronological contents tables, with works divided into literary genres, so readers can easily find the text they want to read. We organise titles in this way to allow readers to trace the exact development of a writer’s work. Delphi Classics’ eBooks are also beautifully illustrated with images of the writers, their lives and their work. For example, images of birthplaces, photographs from various periods of their lives and pictures of their final resting places are blended with the original illustrations that accompanied their novels. Yet, what makes our eBooks even more impressive is the inclusion of special bonus texts, giving our customers the richest eReading experience possible.
The Delphi Promise
We aim to provide the most comprehensive author collections available to our readers. Sadly, it’s not always possible to guarantee an absolutely ‘complete’ works, due to copyright restrictions or the scarcity of minor works and translations of non-English writers. However, we do ensure our customers that every possible major text and a wealth of other material are included. If you feel a significant text is missing from a collection, please contact us via this site and we will consider adding it to the eBook. We are dedicated to developing and enhancing our titles.
