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.

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.

Autorenporträt

Belgian dramatist, poet, and writer Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) wrote in French. He was raised in Ghent, Belgium, and completed his legal studies there before starting to write. Maeterlinck played a significant role in the Symbolist movement, which favored the use of symbols and suggestions above more conventional forms of poetry and literature. The Intruder (1890) and The Blind (1890), two of his first plays, were regarded as breakthrough examples of Symbolist theatre. The drama "The Blue Bird" (1908), which examines themes of happiness and the quest for purpose in life, is Maeterlinck's most well-known composition. Because the play was so popular, it has been transformed into a wide variety of media, including a silent film in 1918 and an animated picture in 1976. Maeterlinck was not just an accomplished dramatist but also a prolific author who covered a broad variety of subjects, such as mysticism, the nature of consciousness, and the philosophy of science. In "The Intelligence of Flowers," his most well-known work, he addresses the notion that plants and flowers possess a certain level of awareness and intellect. The Nobel Prize in Literature was given to Maeterlinck in 1911, making him the first Belgian to do so. His writings had a profound impact on the development of contemporary play and literature, and his theories on consciousness and the natural world are being researched and discussed today.
