Talbot Mundy (born William Lancaster Gribbon on April 23, 1879 died August 5, 1940) was an English-born American writer of adventure fiction. Primarily known for his works set in exotic locales, Mundy's novels and short stories often featured themes of intrigue, espionage, and questing against the backdrop of the Orient, the Middle East, and Africa. Mundy migrated to the United States in 1909 and embarked on a series of occupational adventures, including prospector, car salesman, and journalist, before becoming a full-time writer. His experiences abroad deeply influenced his literary style, characterized by vivid description and an affinity for the mystical and esoteric. 'The Hundred Days' is one of Mundy's works that exemplify his blend of swashbuckling action and historical romance. Mundy has been associated with Theosophy, and this philosophy influenced many of his novels and contributed to their unique spirituality. Despite being a best-selling author in his time, Mundy's popularity waned after his death, though his novels, such as the classic 'King of the Khyber Rifles' and the Jimgrim series, still enjoy a dedicated cult following for their adventurous spirit and early contributions to the genre of adventure fiction. Mundy's works anticipated and influenced the rise of pulp fiction in the 20th century and were precursors to the adventure stories of authors like Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs.

„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.
