Produktbeschreibung

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt

Robert Phillipe Noonan, who is better known by his pen name Robert Tressell, was an Irish writer born on April 17, 1870, in Dublin, Ireland. He is best known for his novel "The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists," a significant work of social realism. Tressell's early adulthood was spent in South Africa, where he worked in various manual labor jobs, experiences that later influenced his writing. His life was marked by personal and professional struggles, and he faced hardship throughout his career. Tressell's work is largely focused on the themes of class disparity, labor, and the exploitation of the working class, reflecting his own experiences and observations. Unfortunately, he did not see much success during his lifetime and passed away at the young age of 40 on February 3, 1911, in Liverpool, United Kingdom. His resting place is at the Liverpool Parochial Cemetery (Walton Park Cemetery). Though he lived a brief life, his work has had a lasting impact on literature, particularly in the realm of social critique and the representation of working-class struggles. Tressell had one child.
