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

James Hogg (1770 - 21 November 1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist, and essayist known for writing in both Scots and English. Born on a small farm near Ettrick, Scotland, Hogg worked as a shepherd and farmhand in his youth and was primarily self-educated through reading. He became friends with notable writers of his time, including Sir Walter Scott, and even wrote an unauthorized biography of Scott. Hogg gained recognition as the "Ettrick Shepherd," a nickname under which some of his works were published. His notable works include the novel "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner," the poem "The Queen's Wake," and the collection of songs "Jacobite Relics." Hogg's writings were often inspired by his experiences as a shepherd and his love for Scottish culture. He died in 1835 and was buried in Ettrick Churchyard.
