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

Algernon Charles Swinburne was an English poet, playwright, and critic, born on April 5, 1837, in London. His works are renowned for their emotional intensity and often deal with themes of human suffering, love, and the tension between passion and reason. Swinburne s early education was shaped by his time at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, where he befriended notable figures like Oscar Wilde. His literary career was marked by his bold exploration of taboo subjects and controversial themes, particularly in his poetry collections such as Poems and Ballads. Swinburne s dramatic works were all tragedies, reflecting his fascination with the darker aspects of the human experience. He contributed to the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclop dia Britannica and was influenced by poets like Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Swinburne's personal life was often marked by health struggles and a penchant for defiance against conventional norms. He died at the age of 72 on April 10, 1909, in Putney, London, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence English literature. His mother, Jane Henrietta Swinburne, played a significant role in his upbringing.
