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

Henry Adams was educated at Harvard College, where he subsequently held a professorship. His historical writings are what made him most famous, especially "History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison," a nine-volume set that txters American history in the early 19th century. The intellectual and cultural currents of Henry Adams's day had a profound effect on him. He was connected to members of the late 19th-century cultural elite, such as John Hay and Henry James. Adams was well-known for being sceptical of the course that American politics and culture were taking, and this mistrust is clear in a lot of his writing. "The Education of Henry Adams," an autobiographical reflection on his life and the evolving society around him, brought Adams notoriety later in life. Written in the third person, this piece delves into his experiences, thoughts on the revolutionary events of the late 19th and early 20th century, and his intellectual development.
