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

Sir Walter Scott was born on August 15, 1771, in Edinburgh, Scotland, to Walter Scott, a Writer to the Signet, and Anne Rutherford, a descendant of both the Clan Swinton and the Haliburton family. As the ninth child in the family, Scott faced significant challenges early on, including the death of six siblings in infancy. A bout of polio in 1773 left him lame, leading to his relocation to the Scottish Borders for treatment. His time spent in the rural area with his paternal grandparents exposed him to local tales, legends, and folklore, which greatly influenced his later writing. Scott returned to Edinburgh in 1775, and after further education, he attended the Royal High School and later Kelso Grammar School, where he met key future business partners. His experiences in these formative years shaped his deep interest in history, literature, and storytelling, laying the foundation for his later work as a novelist, poet, and historian. Throughout his life, Scott made significant contributions to European Romanticism and is remembered for works such as "Ivanhoe," "Rob Roy," and "Waverley," which remain classics of Scottish and European literature.
