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

Agnes Repplier (1855-1950) was an American essayist renowned for her sharp wit and insightful commentary on contemporary society. With a career that spanned over six decades, Repplier contributed to the intellectual vibrancy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her collection 'In the Dozy Hours, and Other Papers' showcases her talent for combining intellectual rigor with an engaging prose style. Born in Philadelphia to a well-to-do family, Repplier was educated at home and at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, though she was expelled for her independent spirit and irreverence. Unrestricted by formal academic bounds, she turned to reading voraciously, favoring French and English literature, which would significantly influence her writing. Repplier's articulation of opinions on literature, philosophy, and life resonated with many, and her essays were published in prestigious magazines such as 'The Atlantic Monthly,' 'Harper's,' and 'The Century Magazine'. Her literary style is characterized by its elegance, erudition, and a subtle humor that earned her the respect of fellow writers and intellectuals. Repplier's work served as an inspiration for women writers at a time when female voices were often marginalized. Her body of work, which includes over a dozen volumes of essays along with biographies and historical writings, remains an undervalued treasure in American literature, offering timeless perspectives on the human condition.
