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

W. Lucas Collins, a figure of Victorian letters, is best-known for his lucid exegeses on classical figures, epitomized by his work 'Cicero' - an accessible scholarly account of the great Roman orator, statesman, and philosopher. Although not as widely renowned as his contemporaries in the prolific period of 19th-century literature, Collins' contributions nonetheless offer valuable classical insights to the English reader. His portrayal of Cicero deftly conveys not only the life and work of the Roman intellectual but also embodies the stylistic virtues and moral inquiries that permeated the Victorian era's intellectual landscape. Collins' literary style adheres to a clear, expository prose, replete with scholarly rigor yet suffused with a narrative appeal that exemplifies the educational ambitions of his age. His works often aimed to make classical knowledge accessible to the wider public, reflecting the era's educational reforms and the rising appetite for self-improvement among the middle classes. Through 'Cicero' and his other literary inquiries into ancient lives and morals, Collins provided a lens through which Victorian England could reflect on its values amid rapidly changing times, and his work remains a testament to the enduring interest in the classics as a means of understanding the present.
