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

Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-1892) was a distinguished English historian, architectural historian, and commentator on contemporary politics known for his analytical approach to history and his contributions to the study of medieval Europe. His historical writing is characterized by a narrative style that weaves architecture, customs, and politics into a comprehensive socio-historical tapestry. One of Freeman's notable works includes 'William the Conqueror' which provides an in-depth exploration of the life and legacy of the Norman king who successfully claimed the English throne in 1066. Freeman's depiction of the Conqueror's life is enriched by his methodological rigor and attention to detail, as he delves into the backgrounds of feudal society and nascent political institutions of the time. His scholarship frequently involved meticulous research and a dedication to primary sources, distinguishing his historical interpretations from his contemporaries. Freeman was known to give equal weight to cultural context and material artifacts like buildings and landscapes in understanding the past, an approach that prefigured later interdisciplinary methods in historical studies. Although his works reflect the outlook and preconceptions of his own Victorian era, they remain significant for their breadth of research and commitment to understanding the complexities of history.
