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. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

George Jacob Holyoake (1817-1906) was a pioneering British social reformer, secularist, and writer known for his influential work in advocating for secularism and free thought. Born in Birmingham, Holyoake initially worked in various trades before becoming a prominent figure in the reform movement. His commitment to secularism and the separation of church and state is most notably captured in his seminal work, The Principles of Secularism. Holyoake's contributions to social reform extend beyond his writing; he was a key figure in the development of secularism as a political and philosophical movement. His advocacy for free thought challenged the prevailing religious doctrines of his time, and he was a vocal proponent of rationalism and humanism. Holyoake's efforts were instrumental in promoting secular ethics and civil rights, influencing public policy and educational reform. Throughout his career, Holyoake faced significant opposition and even imprisonment for his views, but he remained steadfast in his pursuit of a society guided by reason and justice. His legacy endures through his writings and the ongoing impact of secularist principles in modern discourse.
