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

Rebecca Blaine Harding Davis was an American writer and journalist. She pioneered literary realism in American writing. She graduated as valedictorian from Washington Female Seminary in Pennsylvania. Her most significant literary achievement is the short narrative "Life in the Iron-Mills," which appeared in the April 1861 edition of The Atlantic Monthly. Throughout her life, Davis worked to promote social change for African Americans, women, Native Americans, immigrants, and the working class by writing about their plights in the nineteenth century. Richard and Rachel Leet Wilson Harding gave birth to Rebecca Blaine Harding on June 24, 1831, at the David Bradford House in Washington, Pennsylvania. Rebecca was the oldest of five children. After a disastrous entrepreneurial stint in Big Spring, Alabama, the family settled in Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia), in 1836. Wheeling was growing into a productive factory town at the time, with iron and steel factories dominating the landscape. Davis's hometown did not yet have public schooling when she was younger. Her mother provided the most of her education, with occasional tutoring assistance. Rebecca's love in reading began while she was home-schooled and read authors such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, sisters Anna and Susan Warner, and Maria Cummins.
