Omschrijving

The Complete Works of E. Phillips Oppenheim gathers the vast literary contributions of one of the early 20th century's most prolific writers, featuring 109 novels and over 200 short stories. Renowned for his captivating storytelling and masterful plot construction, Oppenheim's works often delve into themes of intrigue, espionage, and the complexities of human relationships.

This illustrated edition enhances the richness of Oppenheim's oeuvre, allowing readers to engage visually with the world he crafted. E. Phillips Oppenheim, often dubbed the 'Prince of Storytellers,' was born in 1866 and was one of the first authors to explore the genre of spy fiction.

Oppenheim's captivating plots and memorable characters promise to entertain and provoke thought, rendering this illustrated compilation a fitting tribute to a literary master.
