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
Edward Eggleston was an American historian, novelist, and editor, born on December 10, 1837, in Vevay, Indiana, to Joseph Cary Eggleston and Mary Jane Craig. He was the brother of the author George Cary Eggleston. Due to illness during his childhood, Eggleston was educated primarily by his father. In 1856, he was ordained as a Methodist minister, and soon after began writing stories that gained considerable attention, particularly his "Hoosier" series, which includes The Hoosier Schoolmaster and The Hoosier Schoolboy. His works often focused on historical events and American life, with notable novels such as The End of the World, which draws on the 1843 prophecy of William Miller, and The Graysons, which fictionalizes a famous murder trial Abraham Lincoln won in 1858. Eggleston also wrote several works based on his personal experiences, like The Circuit Rider, about itinerant preachers. Eggleston contributed to children's magazines and played a significant role in editing The Little Corporal, Little Folks, and The Independent. He helped found the American Historical Association and served as its president in 1899. Eggleston passed away in 1902 at the age of 64 in Lake George, New York, where he lived at his summer home, Owl's Nest.
