New additions to Ebook Classics at Falbe Publishing

Genre readers, especially of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and history, can enjoy a new resource in the growing ebook collection from small publishing company.
 

 
A Princess of Mars ebook

A Princess of Mars ebook

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Nov 26, 2008 – Production at Falbe Publishing of Chico, California stepped up dramatically during November. Four more works of classic literature and history were added to the publisher’s growing collection of DRM-free ebooks. The newest titles are:

A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
MacBeth, Hamlet and King Lear by William Shakespeare
The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

As these titles indicate, the classic ebooks produced by Falbe Publishing focus on great works of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and adventure along with select nonfiction works of historical significance. With its line of classics in ebook formats, the publisher is seeking to create offerings that appeal to genre readers.

Tracy Falbe, owner of the publishing company, said, “Most genres popular today have their roots in the 19th century or early 20th century. There are many excellent reads from the past that contemporary readers would enjoy, and I’ve been working hard to make them easily accessible as digital content.”

Criteria for fiction works selected by Falbe include entertainment value, creativity, and timeless themes. Another consideration that influences title choices is the form of the narrative. Authors through the centuries have taken numerous approaches to the narrative form, and the various techniques can prove interesting to readers. For example, A Princess of Mars is written in the first person, and the Shakespearean tragedies are obviously dramas. Darwin’s The Origin of Species was added due to its enduring contribution to biological sciences and its accessibility to non-scientist readers. In fact, it was a nonfiction work that was an immediate best-seller in the 1850s and 1860s.

Falbe believes that readers have an interest in including classics on their reading lists but choosing classic titles is often difficult. They are not marketed very well, with publishers assuming that people simply “know” the quality and significance of any particular work. Because this is not the case, Falbe presents her classic ebooks with compelling cover graphics and informative sales copy meant to aid readers in finding a classic that will suit their tastes.

All the titles in the Ebook Classics section can be accessed at this link http://www.falbepublishing.com/ebook_classics/classic_eb ... where a free download of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is also available. Because more titles will be added every month, subscribing to the catalog RSS feed is recommended.
