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

John James Anthony Froude FRSE was an English historian, writer, biographer, and editor of Fraser's Magazine. He was born on April 23, 1818, and died on October 20, 1894. As a child, Froude was raised in the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement and wanted to become a priest. But after writing the scandalous book The Nemesis of Faith in 1849, which raised questions about the beliefs of the Anglican church, he gave up on his religious career. Froude started writing history. His History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada made him one of the most famous historians of his time. Froude was influenced by Thomas Carlyle, and his historical works were often very controversial, which made a lot of people dislike him. Up until the day he died, Froude's book "The Life of Carlyle," which included the personal works of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle, caused a lot of trouble. People kept talking about the couple's marriage problems and spreading rumors because of these publications. Robert Hurrell Froude, who was archdeacon of Totnes, and his wife Margaret Spedding, had him. A man named James Anthony was born on April 23, 1818, in Dartington, Devon. There were eight children in his family. The eldest was fifteen years older than him and was an Anglo-Catholic polemicist. The other seven children were engineers and navy architects.
