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
Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory, was an Anglo-Irish dramatist, folklorist, and stage manager. She co-founded the Irish Literary Theatre and the Abbey Theatre with William Butler Yeats and Edward Martyn, and she authored several short plays for each. Lady Gregory wrote several novels repeating stories from Irish mythology. She rebelled against British rule despite being born into a class that strongly supported it. Her conversion to cultural nationalism, as indicated by her works, was representative of many of the political fights that occurred in Ireland during her lifetime. Lady Gregory is well noted for her role in the Irish Literary Revival. Her home in Coole Park, County Galway, served as a gathering spot for key Revival leaders, and her early work on the Abbey's board was at least as crucial to the theatre's development as her creative writings. Lady Gregory's motto comes from Aristotle: "To think like a wise man, but to express oneself like the common people." Gregory was born in Roxborough, County Galway, as the youngest daughter of the Anglo-Irish gentry family Persse.
