The father of Western fiction, Owen Wister helped create the cowboy as a folk hero, establishing the enduring myth of the Wild West, while elevating the western as a legitimate genre of literature. His masterpiece ‘The Virginian’ tells the story of an unnamed cowboy who, despite his hardened exterior, displays civilised values in an uncivilised West. The novel was an immediate bestseller and made Wister a wealthy man. His portrayal of cowboy life is responsible for the romanticized view of the West that has become an integral of the American cultural identity. Wister was a gifted author, who produced noticeable works in almost all genes, including a range of fiction, poetry, short stories and non-fiction texts. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Wister’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, many rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

The American author of detective fiction, Raymond Chandler created the private detective Philip Marlowe, characterised as a poor, yet honest upholder of ideals in an opportunistic and brutal world. In total, Chandler completed seven novels, all featuring Philip Marlowe as their hero, many of which were adapted for the silver screen as film noir classics. As a founder of the hard-boiled school of detective fiction, Chandler was lionised by critics and leading writers, including W. H. Auden, Evelyn Waugh and Ian Fleming, who admired his literary prose and pithy dialogue. Chandler's innovative approach helped redefine the private eye fiction genre, winning him the designation of the most lyrical of the major crime writers.
