The seventeenth century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes is best known for his political philosophy, as revealed in his magnum opus ‘Leviathan’ (1651). Hobbes regarded government primarily as a device for ensuring collective security. He argued that political authority is justified by a hypothetical social contract among the many, giving a sovereign person the responsibility for the safety and well-being of all. Hobbes also contributed to a diverse array of other fields, including history, jurisprudence, geometry, the physics of gases, theology, ethics and general philosophy. However, his enduring contribution was as a political philosopher, who justified wide-ranging government powers on the basis of the self-interested consent of citizens. This comprehensive eBook presents Hobbes’ collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Hobbes’ life and works * Concise introductions to the major works * Features rare treatises appearing for the first time in digital publishing * Images of how the books were first published, giving your eReader a taste of the original texts * Excellent formatting of the texts * Two texts of ‘Leviathan’: the first edition text and Molesworth’s seminal 1839 edition * Includes Hobbes’ rare poetry– available in no other collection * Features the translations, including the celebrated complete translation of Thucydides * Hobbes’ scarce autobiographical work * Features two biographies – discover Hobbes’ intriguing life * Scholarly ordering of texts into chronological order and genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles CONTENTS: The Books Elements of Law, Natural and Politic Of Liberty and Necessity Answer to Sir William Davenant’s Preface before Gondibert De Cive Leviathan De Corpore Six Lessons to the Professor of Mathematics Seven Philosophical Problems A Dialogue between a Philosopher and a Student of the Common Laws of England An Answer to a Book Published by Dr. Bramhall, Late Bishop of Derry Three Papers Presented to the Royal Society Against Dr. Wallis Ten Dialogues of Natural Philosophy An Historical Narration concerning Hersey and the Punishment Thereof Behemoth The Translations Eight Books of the Peloponnesian War The Whole Art of Rhetoric Translation of Homer’s ‘Iliad’ Translation of Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ The Poetry De Mirabilis Pecci, Being the Wonders of the Peak in Darby-shire The Life of Mr. Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury Historia Ecclesiastica Carmine Elegiaco Concinnata The Autobiography Considerations upon the Reputation, Loyalty, Manners and Religion of Thomas Hobbes of Malmsbury The Biographies Thomas Hobbes by George Croom Robertson Thomas Hobbes by Leslie Stephen Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles or to purchase this eBook as a Parts Edition of individual eBooks

ISBN: 180170029X

A first century Roman poet of Etruscan origin, Persius wrote polished satires that reveal his interest in Stoicism and a strong criticism for what he considered to be the stylistic abuses of his poetic contemporaries. Like Juvenal who would write half a century later, Persius was the heir to the style of Latin verse satire developed by Lucilius and Horace, which were clearly aimed at a sophisticated and urban audience. He adopts the mask of an angry man, while his sharp criticism of the society in which he lives is combined with flashes of sardonic humor. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Persius’ complete extant works, with illustrations, an informative introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material.

The German theologian and religious reformer, Martin Luther was the catalyst of the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation. Luther set on course a movement that reformulated the basic tenets of Christian belief, resulting in the division of Western Christendom between Roman Catholicism and the new Protestant traditions. One of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity, Luther produced a wide body of works, challenging the authority and office of the Pope by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge. His landmark translation of the Bible into the German vernacular made religion more accessible to everyday people, having a tremendous impact on both the church and German culture.

The Roman historian Velleius Paterculus lived during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, serving as a military tribune and later as a cavalry officer and legatus in Germany and Pannonia. Written in a highly rhetorical style, his ‘Compendium of Roman History’ is a summary of Roman history from the mythical fall of Troy to AD 29. As Paterculus approaches his own times, he becomes much fuller in his treatment of history, especially dealing with the years between the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC and Augustus in 14. He is generally trustworthy in his statements of individual facts, serving as a courtly annalist and providing a unique window into this important time of Roman history. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Paterculus’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
