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

Porter Emerson Browne, an American writer, was born in Beverly, Massachusetts. He wrote several plays, including A Fool There Was (1909), which was made for film twice, in 1915 and 1922; The Spendthrift (1910); Chains (1912); and The Bad Man (1920), which was filmed three times, in 1923, 1930, and 1941. Mabel Normand's dramatic vehicle Joan of Plattsburg (1918) was also based on a Browne play. The historian John Toland wrote a love portrait of Browne in his book. Toland, who was barely a teenager at the time, wanted to be a writer and was intrigued when Browne moved in with his family. Most importantly, Browne taught him how to become a writer. He took the young Toland into his study and showed him a little stage next to his typewriter. Small figurines stood on stage. "I just watch them and let them do everything they have to do," Toland was quoted as saying. "Then I type down everything they say." When Toland wrote his autobiography in his eighties, after writing numerous novels, he remembered Browne's example. He thanked Browne with teaching him how to listen when interviewing horrible individuals from history without passing judgment. Toland, like Browne, offered structure and context before recording anything they said.
