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.

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.

Download or read book Greek Architecture Classic Reprint written by PROFESSOR OF SOCIAL WORK ROGER. SMITH and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Architecture My duty in the preparation of a preface is to point out, first, that this work on Greek architecture and sculpture is part Of a course of reading on Greek history [grecian History, by James R. Joy] and to remark that the general historical in formation supplied by this other book is a most essential intro duction to the present work. All interest in ancient art presupposes an interest in ancient history as well as some general knowledge about it. On the other hand it is true that ancient art is a most valuable means itself of teaching ancient history. Not only is the impulse Offered to the imagination by the actually. Existing relics and tangible remnants of the past a point to be considered; but these relics are themselves illustrations of the lives of the Greeks which are superior to any verbal or literary descriptions of a bygone age. The life Of a nation cannot be described by a chronicle of events. Greek life is not only suggested by works Of Greek art, but it was also actually incorporated in them.

The basket is here set down, contain ing, if nothing more, at least a brief allusion to no less than eighty-two architects of antiquity. The fact is perfectly appreciated that many fine specimens may have been overlooked; that scant justice has been done those gathered, and that the basket is far too small to contain all that so rich a field could Offer.

Download or read book The Parthenon written by James Fergusson and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parthenon: An Essay on the Mode by Which Light Was Introduced Into Greek and Roman Temples Although so small a portion of this book is devoted directly to the description of the Parthenon, the name of that celebrated temple has been selected to designate the work, for the same reason that Quatremere de Quincy called his essay on Greek Art 'Le Jupiter Olympien.' His work is practically a treatise on Greek sculpture - especially the toreutic branch of it - as then known, and the temple at Elis and the famous chryselephantine statue of Phidias occupy relatively a smaller portion of his work than the Parthenon does in mine. Had the building been entire at the present day, a different mode of treatment from that I have adopted might have been expedient, and it would have been possible to commence with a description of the temple and devote a greater portion of the work to the elucidation of its peculiarities. As it is, the materials out of which it was - in theory - to be reconstructed had to be quarried from various sources, and their forms and uses ascertained, before their application to the Parthenon could be determined. A vast amount of superincumbent rubbish had also to be cleared away before serviceable materials could be got at and gathered together; but once this was done, a few words seemed to be all that was required to explain the application of the forms and ideas gathered from other sources, to the rehabilitation of the lost or misunderstood portions of that famous temple. So many investigations are now in progress, and so much requires to be done before many of the subjects which are treated of in the following pages can be considered as at all complete, that it is not without considerable reluctance that I publish this work at the present moment. I would not, in fact, hurry it now through the press, but for a feeling that if it is not done now it may possibly not be done at all. The excavations at Eleusis have actually been commenced at last, but are in so incomplete a state, that I have not been able to obtain even a sketch plan of the results obtained. Those of the Temple of Jupiter Olympius at Athens have not yet been undertaken. I have not been able during the past year to induce any one to open his eyes and observe those features which have an important bearing on the subject of this investigation at Baalbec and Paestum.

Download or read book Cyclopaedia of Works of Architecture written by William P. P. Longfellow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopaedia of Works of Architecture: In Italy, Greece, and the Levant Much care has been given to the illustrations: thev are as full as they could well be without taking too much space from the text. The editor has tried to show familiar monuments in new aspects as far as was practicable. Some well-known subjects have been omitted in favor of others which it is less easy for the reader to find elsewhere, and many less conspicuous monuments are presented for the sake of some artistic interest or of their significance in the sequence of architectural forms. The illustrations have been made directly from photographs when this could be done, or have been drawn for use here: very few are repro ductions of other illustrations, and for these credit is given. In two im portant instances special effort has been made to show what has hereto fore been neglected - the drawing of the rear of St. Peter's, carefully constructed from photographs and measured plans, gives the church as it would appear if the houses that crowd about its lower parts were pulled away, and shows it therefore as Michael Angelo intended it to appear, but as it is never seen. The photogravure of the interior of Sta. Sofia was prepared because the composite photographs that are in cir culation show this noble interior with broken lines and distorted propor tion, and the only published drawings which give an adequate impression of it, those of Fossati, are unsuited for reproduction.
