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
George John Whyte-Melville was a Scottish novelist who was particularly interested in field sports. He also wrote poetry. He took a hiatus in the mid-1850s to serve as an officer in Turkish irregular cavalry during the Crimean War. George John Whyte-Melville was born at Mount Melville, near St Andrews, Scotland, in 1821. He was the son of Major John Whyte-Melville and Lady Catherine Anne Sarah Osborne, as well as the 5th Duke of Leeds' grandchild on his mother's side. His father was a well-known athlete and Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. When Arco Hermoso died in 1835, the marquesa was in grave financial problems, and in less than two years she married Antonio Arrom de Ayala, a much younger man. In 1849, Elizabeth Gibbs, described as "a smartly-dressed and interesting looking young woman," issued a summons for maintenance against Whyte-Melville, alleging that he was the father of her son. She reported that she had known Whyte-Melville since December 1846 and gave birth to his child on September 15, 1847. The Magistrate read other letters claimed by Gibbs to be from Whyte-Melville, in one of which the writer indicated his desire that Gibbs assign the paternity to some other person since he did not want to pay for the enjoyment of others.
