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
George William Curtis was an American author, reformer, public speaker, and political leader who was born on February 24, 1824, and died on August 31, 1892. He wanted to end slavery and fight for the rights of African Americans and Native Americans under the law. He also fought for women's right to vote, changes to the way the government works, and public schools. His birthday is February 24, 1824, and he was born in Providence, Rhode Island. The man who raised him was also named George Curtis. Mary Elizabeth (Burrill) Curtis, his mother, was the daughter of former U.S. Senator James Burrill Jr. She died when George was only two years old. Young George was sent to school in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, with his older brother James Burrill Curtis when he was six years old. He stayed there for five years. After his father got married again and was happy, the boys were brought back to Providence in 1835. They stayed there until around 1839, when they went to New York with their father. After three years, George and James connected with the transcendental movement's ideas and took part in the Brook Farm trial from 1842 to 1843. George lived close to Ralph Waldo Emerson for two years after leaving Brook Farm, in New York and Concord, Massachusetts.
