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

English dramatist, illustrator, writer, and social campaigner Laurence Housman. He was born on July 18, 1865, in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. The gifted Housman family also featured the poet A.E. Housman, who was more well-known than his brother. Laurence Housman made important contributions to a number of literary and artistic disciplines. He started off as an illustrator, creating illustrations for magazines and books. He worked on several projects with his sister, Clemence Housman. Afterwards, he became well-known for his plays, "Pains and Penalties" (1898) and "Little Plays of St. Francis" (1900) being two of his most well-known pieces. Apart from his creative pursuits, Housman was a devoted social activist. He participated in a number of progressive causes, such as the fight for women's suffrage. His writings, like the novel "The Field of Clover" (1898), and his advocacy both mirrored his views on social justice and gender equality. He had a long and varied life, and in his senior years, he remained involved in a number of causes.
