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

David Graham Phillips was an American novelist and muckraker journalist. Phillips was born in Madison, Ind. After graduating from high school, Phillips enrolled at Asbury College (now DePauw University) and eventually earned a degree from Princeton in 1887. After finishing his studies, Phillips worked as a newspaper reporter in Cincinnati, Ohio, before relocating to New York City, where he was a reporter for The Sun from 1890 to 1893, and then a columnist and editor for the New York World until 1902. In his leisure time, he wrote a novel called The Great God Success, which was released in 1901. The royalty income enabled him to work as a freelance journalist while also writing fiction. In March 1906, Phillips published an article in Cosmopolitan titled "The Treason of the Senate," which exposed campaign contributors who were rewarded by select members of the United States Senate. The story sparked a harsh attack on Rhode Island Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and gave Phillips a lot of national attention. This and other similar pieces contributed to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which established popular rather than state-legislative election of U.S. Senators. David Graham Phillips is well-known for conducting one of the most major investigations into Senate corruption, namely involving the Standard Oil Company.
