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.

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.

Autorenporträt
Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, KCMG (28 February 1865 - 9 October 1940) was a renowned medical missionary to Newfoundland and Labrador. His adventurous spirit and deep compassion for the fishing communities he served are vividly captured in his literary works, which blend autobiographical elements with reflections on the rugged life of the North Atlantic. Grenfell is most noted for his book 'Labrador Days' (1919), in which he narrates the challenges and rewards of his work and life on the coast of Labrador - a document not only of his medical exploits but also of the culture and landscapes of early 20th-century Newfoundland and Labrador. His writing style is characterized by an engaging mixture of anecdotal storytelling, emphatic character studies, and descriptive prowess, which serves to transport readers directly into the heart of the Labrador experience. Throughout his life, Grenfell's dedication to improving the lives of the region's inhabitants through his medical and humanitarian efforts was constant, and his literary contributions have provided a window into the hardships and beauty of life in this remote part of Canada. Additionally, his works contribute significantly to the field of regional studies and ethnography. Grenfell's legacy extends beyond his writing to the health and social institutions he founded, such as the renowned Grenfell Mission, which continues to impact the region positively.
