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
John Boynton Priestley (1894-1984) was an eminent English novelist, playwright, and broadcaster, whose prolific career spanned over 60 years. Known for combining deep social commentary with richly descriptive storytelling, Priestley's literary contribution is diverse, ranging from social realism to science fiction. Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, he encountered the harsh realities of the industrial North, which profoundly influenced his writing. His education at the local grammar school and later at Cambridge University provided him with a foundation in literature and history. Priestley's service in the First World War left an indelible mark on him, often reflected in the themes of loss and disenchantment in his works. Notable among his literature is 'Papers from Lilliput,' a collection of essays that highlights his prowess in short-form writing, melding wit with incisive scrutiny of contemporary issues. His works showed a prescient understanding of social dynamics, as evinced in novels like 'The Good Companions' and 'Angel Pavement' and in plays such as 'An Inspector Calls' and 'Time and the Conways.' Priestley's literary style is characterized by a blend of nostalgic reflection and a forward-looking vision, often underpinned by his interest in time theories, as seen in his 1940s 'Time Plays.' His contributions have earned him a place among the pantheon of 20th-century British writers, leaving a lasting impact on both literature and society.
