Autorenportrait
Gustave Aimard, born Olivier Gloux in Paris on September 13, 1818, was a French author known for his adventure novels that often depicted life on the American frontier. Ice-watered by literature from an early age, Aimard's own life was nothing short of adventurous; he supposedly spent a considerable period among various Native American tribes, learning their languages and customs, which later informed his literary works and endowed them with an air of authenticity. Aimard's 'The Rebel Chief: A Tale of Guerilla Life' is particularly noted for its vibrant portrayal of battles and the guerilla lifestyle, reflective of Aimard's absorption in the intricacies of social unrest and cultural conflicts during his travels. His literary style is distinguished by an infusion of detailed landscape descriptions and an unapologetic depiction of violence and adventure which became the signature of his extensive body of work. Aimard's novels resonated with readers of his time and contributed significantly to the 19th-century literary genre of exotic adventure. Despite his contemporary obscurity, Gustave Aimard's contributions to the Western adventure narrative genre carry an enduring legacy, providing raw, albeit embellished insights into the periods and cultures he aimed to represent.
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. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
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 auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
