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

Van Wyck Brooks was an American literary critic, biographer, and historian, born on February 16, 1886, in Plainfield, New Jersey. He became one of the leading intellectuals of his time, known for his in-depth studies of American literature and culture. Brooks was a pioneer in examining the cultural and historical contexts of writers and their works, seeking to understand how literature shaped, and was shaped by, American society. His most notable works include The Flowering of New England and The Ordeal of Mark Twain (1920), a critical biography of the famous author. His approach to biography was one that emphasized the personal struggles and growth of writers, placing them within the broader scope of American intellectual history. Brooks' work helped shape the study of American literature and was instrumental in understanding the development of American identity through its writers. He passed away on May 2, 1963, in Bridgewater, Connecticut, at the age of 77.
