Sadly, many of Anderson’s works have remained out of print for decades, in spite of his important place in the development of modernist literature. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Anderson’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
