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.

Excerpt from The Key of the Fields and Boldero
He sat staring down over the bare inner edge Of the ramparts, letting his thoughts rove across the sleepy, encircled town, the huddling pattern of Aigues Mortes, a dull red-and - chestnut mosaic in tiled roofs. Then he gripped his carpenter's pencil afresh, bent down, and carefully printed on the mortar.

Excerpt from The Winter Bell
The youngster's dark eyes contracted, his lips worked strangely. He rubbed one snow-crusted mitten roughly across them, and then, like a man who had driven away some pain of body or grief of mind, went swinging on with the wind, his face hard set, almost grim.

Excerpt from Fern Seed
Afternoon sun beat down on the quays of Alexandria, making the air boil and dance along stone-work, above dock water, among masts and funnels. A crowd waiting under the sun found it hot. Leonard Corsant, after some years in the Far East, cared little for this heat of Egypt; he had known worse; but now he felt impatient to go aboard, get out into good sea breeze once more, and continue his journey. He was going home to America.

Excerpt from Beached Keels
He spat over the gunwale, so that a brown stain of tobacco swept astern on the heaving slant of the green wave. Archer, on the stern thwart, turned his head and looked back over the dazzling water at the mainland, a dark bank of rocks and low hills, with a few roofs and a spire against the late afternoon sun.

Excerpt from William Jones: Indian, Cowboy, American Scholar, and Anthropologist in the Field
On this spring morning at college, he did something which to his friend had all the in terest of rarity. He spoke about himself. To reproduce his words is impossible, as it now is to convey the charms of what he said, his diffident way of raising and lowering his bright brown eyes, of plucking up a grass blade with sinewy fingers, or waving them in a gesture very slight but Very full of meaning.

Excerpt from Tin Cowrie Dass: A Story
All the land was flat, and all his life there; yet he remained content, or would have done so but for his brother, his elder brother, the Dog. By the will of heaven this brother had grown sickly always in body, vacant of mind, roam ing between the river and the shade along the jute fields, building little knee-high palaces with spoilt brick, or playing in the mud on the shore. When steamers went by toward Assam.

Henry Milner Rideout was born on April 25, 1877 at Calais, Maine, the youngest of eight children of Samuel Macomber and Ellen Jane (Greely) Rideout, both of old New England families. His father, a miller, ship chandler, and petty contractor in Calais, died when Henry was twelve, leaving his family with few resources.
Education
The lad's education might have ended with graduation from the local Academy had not friends helped him to borrow money for a year at Harvard College. With financial assistance from the Price Greenleaf Aid and sums earned by tutoring he was able to continue his course, and received the degree of A. B. , magna cum laude, in 1899.
Career
He had been editor-in-chief of the Harvard Monthly, a member of Signet and Hasty Pudding, and class odist. For five years after his graduation he taught English at Harvard, meanwhile publishing Letters of Thomas Gray (1899), Tennyson's "The Princess" (1899), and Freshman English and Theme-Correcting at Harvard College (1901), the last two in collaboration with Charles T. Copeland.
During this period he also had stories accepted by various magazines, "Wild Justice" (Atlantic Monthly, September-October 1903), receiving especially favorable notice. Having paid his debts and saved some money, and being without dependents since his mother had died, he resigned his Harvard position in 1904 and departed on a year's trip around the world.
He returned from the Far East with a rich mine of experiences and a completed novel, The Siamese Cat, which was published in 1907. His Beached Keels (1906), containing "Wild Justice, " and Admiral's Light (1907), were volumes dealing with New Brunswick and Maine fisherfolk and mariners.
In 1907-09 and again in 1912 he supplemented his income by teaching in the Harvard Summer School.
During 1909 he published Dragon's Blood, a story of China; Selections from Byron, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, and Browning in collaboration with Copeland; and "The Twisted Foot" in the Saturday Evening Post. For this serial of the East Indies, published in book form in 1910, the Post paid so liberally that Rideout was able to go to California.
Here he planned to settle down to literary work, but during the next five years published only a biography, William Jones, Indian, Cowboy, American Scholar, and Anthropologist in the Field (1912). Then appeared six stories of the Far East, White Tiger (1915), The Far Cry (1916), Tin Cowrie Dass (1918), The Footpath Way (1920), Man Eater (1924), and Dulcarnon (1925). Two books, The Key of the Fields and Boldero (1918) and Fern Seed (1921), were inspired by a European visit just before the World War; two serials in the Saturday Evening Post were also issued in book form - The Winter Bell (1922), with an American setting, and Barbry (1923), a sea story; Tao Tales (1927), was based on stories from the author's Chinese cook. A juvenile, Lola the Bear (1928), was published posthumously.
In 1927, after a summer in New Brunswick, Rideout and his family sailed from Quebec on the Montnairn, for Europe, but he was stricken with virulent influenza pneumonia and died as the ship entered the river Scheldt. His body was cremated and his ashes interred in Mount Tamalpais Cemetery, San Rafael, California.
Achievements
He was an author of sixteen novels, twenty-three short stories and novellas, and a biographical memoir, he also was editor of one college textbook, as well as co-editor of three others. Many of his stories appeared in The Saturday Evening Post.
