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._,

Las alas de la paloma (en inglés The Wings of the Dove) es considerada la obra maestra de Henry James. la obra narra con especial sutileza el triángulo amoroso entre Milly Theale, una joven millonaria norteamericana afectada por una enfermedad incurable, y la pareja integrada por Merton Densher (de quien Milly se enamora) y Kate Croy, que insta a su novio a seducir a Milly para obtener su herencia. El estilo caracteristico del maestro de la novela inglesa se despliega aqui con toda su carga de agudeza en el analisis de las emociones mas reconditas.

"La bestia en la jungla" es un conte de melanconia i soledat. El transcurs de tota una vida es narrat en sis parts perfectament equilibrades. John Marcher, el seu protagonista, se sent "perdut enmig de la multitud" al començament del relat, i aquest anonimat li resulta insuportable. En una casa anomenada Weatherend, trova una dona que es diu May Bartram. S'havien conegut abans, deu anys enrere, i un dia a Sorrento, ell li havi confiat el seu secret: es creia reservat per una experiencia no gens corrent. Quina sera l'experiencia, bella o horrible, ell no ho sap pas. L'assumpte, "la cosa" es imaginada com una bestia que el persegueix en la selva, que espera el momento mes oportu per tirar-se-li al damunt.

La presente selección reúne cinco deliciosas narraciones cortas pertenecientes a la etapa de juventud de Henry James, período caracterizado por una mayor sencillez, frente a la progresiva complejidad de su obra futura, en la que James hace una incursion en los principales generos de la literatura popular. Escritos con su habitual sinceridad, ingenio y elegancia, estos cuentos bucean en la psicologia y las peripecias sentimentales de sus protagonistas -ingenuos norteamericanos de buen caracter, tan audaces como desconcertados e indefensos ante una vieja Europa, traicionera y llena de corrupcion, prejuicios y engaños-, utilizando para ello diversos registros literarios: desde la comedia mas hilarante ( Un puñado de cartas ) a la tragedia melancolica ( Cuatro entrevistas ), desde la fantasia sobrenatural ( El ultimo de los Valerios ) al melodrama romantico ( Eugene Pickering ) o al relato de intriga ( El asedio de Londres ).
