Melville House Publishing is introducing what it calls "Hybrid Books" by allowing readers to download its edition of Joseph Conrad's classic novella "The Duel" for free.
The "Hybrid Books" project is a way to combine traditional print volumes with the ancillary features that are available in some e-books.
To quote the Melville House website: "Each book in the HybridBook program features not only the core text of the novel, but extensive additional material rendered in digital form — the Melville House Illuminations. The Illuminations consist of highly curated text, maps, photographs and illustrations related to the original book.
The Melville House Illuminations are free with the purchase of any title in the HybridBook series, no matter the format.
Purchasers of print copies of books in the HybridBook series can obtain the Illuminations for a given title simply by swiping the QR code found in the back of each book, or by following the url also given in the back of the print book."
To launch the concept, Melville House created what it calls "The Duel X 5" series -- five novellas all titled "The Duel." Besides Conrad's "The Duel," the series includes novellas by Anton Chekhov, Heinrich von Kleist, Giacomo Casanova and Aleksandr Kuprin. With the exception of Conrad's work, which was written in English, the Melville House editions are new translations done especially for this project.
