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

Charles Egbert Craddock is the pen name of Mary Noailles Murfree (January 24, 1850 – July 31, 1922), an American author recognized for her novels and stories that vividly brought to life the people and customs of the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. She initially adopted the male pseudonym to mask her gender and ensure her works were taken seriously in the male-dominated literary world of the late 19th century. Murfree's literature often falls into the local color movement, with 'Down the Ravine' (1885) showcasing her characteristic blend of regional dialect and detailed descriptions of the Appalachians. This novel, like much of her work, invites readers to explore the complexities of rural Southern life, where nature, tradition, and human relationships intertwine. Murfree's writings display a unique narrative style that combines a deep appreciation for her setting with an astute analysis of her characters' inner lives, effectively painting a picturesque and enduring image of Southern Americana. Despite the initial need for a pseudonym, Mary Noailles Murfree's true identity was revealed in 1885, allowing her to gain recognition under her real name. Her work remains a substantial contribution to the literary depiction of American pastoral life and continues to be studied for its cultural and historical significance.
