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
Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950) was an American essayist known for her wry and witty observations and her well-crafted literary style. Born in Philadelphia, Repplier started her writing career after she was expelled from the Convent of the Sacred Heart for her independent spirit and sharp tongue-a trait that would come to define her writing. Turning to essay writing, she quickly gained fame for her incisive and humorous commentary on human nature, social mores, and education. Repplier's collection 'Essays in Miniature' is a fine example of her mastery of the essay form. The book showcases her ability to distill complex ideas into concise and entertaining prose that appeals to both scholarly and general audiences. Repplier's work earned her considerable respect among her contemporaries, and she is often compared to the likes of Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde for her keen social commentary and sparkling wit (Goodman, 1992). An advocate of reading for pleasure, Repplier's essays are celebrated for their intellectual depth, clarity, and precision, making her an enduring figure in the American literary canon.
