Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Peter Gilchrist McArthur, born on March 10, 1866, in Ekfrid Township, Canada West, was a Canadian writer, poet, and farmer. He was the son of Peter McArthur and Catherine McLennan, both of whom hailed from Scotland. McArthur was educated at the collegiate and model school in Strathroy and later attended the University of Toronto. After leaving university in 1889, he worked as a reporter for the Toronto Daily Mail and then moved to New York City the following year. He became the editor of Truth from 1895 to 1897 and contributed to various publications, including poems, articles, and humor pieces. In 1902, McArthur moved to London, England, where he wrote for Punch, Review of Reviews, and The Daily Paper. He published To be taken with salt: being an essay on teaching one's grandmother to suck eggs in 1903. He later returned to Ontario in 1908, where he farmed and contributed to local publications, eventually publishing works such as In Pastures Green and The Red Cow and Her Friends. McArthur passed away on October 28, 1924, in London, Ontario, after undergoing surgery at the age of 58.
