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
Oscar Penn Fitzgerald was a Methodist minister, reporter, and teacher who lived from August 24, 1829, to August 5, 1911. Between 1867 and 1871, he was California's Superintendent of Public Instruction. In 1890, he was made a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He was born on August 24, 1829, in Caswell County, North Carolina, not far from Ruffin. His parents were Richard Fitzgerald and Martha Jones Hooper. Fitzgerald came from a long line of people in Nottoway County, Virginia, where many of his cousins lived in good stead. He married Sarah Banks of Georgia in 1855. In his early years, he went to a normal country school like most kids did at that time. The Oak Grove Academy in Rockingham County, North Carolina, was his first real chance to learn. The man who taught him, Booker Doss, was very strict, but he taught him a lot. For some reason, Fitzgerald couldn't help but go to Lynchburg, Virginia, when he was thirteen to work for the Lynchburg Republican. There, it was proven that he was very good at writing. By the time he was twenty, he was already known as a good writer in the area.
