English translations are available for free Kindle download from Amazon. If you plan on purchasing all his works this would be a significant investment.
if you don't have a Kindle could I suggest a library. I would imagine any library worth its salt would carry at least some of his works.

His books are also available for free download from Project Gutenberg ... another absoulutely superb resource.
