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.
John Davys Beresford was an English writer best known for his early science fiction and short stories in the horror and ghost story genres. Beresford was a huge fan of H.G. Wells and produced the first critical analysis of him in 1915. His Wellsian work The Hampdenshire Wonder (1911) had a significant influence on the author Olaf Stapledon. His other science-fiction novels include The Riddle of the Tower, which depicts a dystopian, hive-like civilization. His father, John James Beresford (1821 1897), was a minister in Castor, which is now in Cambridgeshire, near Peterborough. His mother was Adelaide Elizabeth Morgan (1837-1902). J. D. Beresford suffered from infantile paralysis, leaving him partially crippled. He was schooled in Oundle. After studying architecture, he became a professional writer, beginning as a dramatist and then as a journalist. In early adulthood, he abandoned his father's theism and became a "determined but defensive" agnostic. He lived in Edwardian intellectual London and spent time in the provinces, particularly Cornwall, where D. H. Lawrence prolonged his stay in his Porthcothan villa. Later in life, Beresford abandoned his prior agnosticism and declared himself a Theosophist and pacifist.
