"Whaling and Fishing" offers the reader an authentic glimpse into the life of a sailor, attempting to dispel the romance often attributed to it by exploring both what may be enjoyed and what must be endured. Based on the author own experience as a whaler, this volume is recommended for those with an interest in the maritime history and of whaling in particular, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of angling literature. Contents include: "Whalemen Wanted ", "A Whaling Shipping Office", "The Man-of-Wars-Man", "The Merchant Seaman", "The Whale-man", "Talk with the Shipper", "I Determine on a Whaling Cruise", "New Bedford", "The Town", "The Wharves", "The Shipping Office", "Prospective Whalemen", "Old Bill", "The Outfit" etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

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.

Myteriet på Bounty är baserad på den historiska händelsen 1789, där en del av besättningen på det engelska fartyget H.M.S. Bounty med understyrman Fletcher Christian i spetsen begick myteri mot sin kapten William Bligh. I romanen av Nordhoff & Hall följer vi den fiktiva jag-berättaren Roger Byam (baserad på Peter Heywood), som är en ung kadett, som följer med på Bountys seglats mot Tahiti, där han ska samla information om de inföddas språk. Genom Byam får vi höra om kapten Blighs orättfärdiga behandling av sitt manskap, om myteriet och om hans eget och andra av besättningsmedlemmarnas efterföljande dramatiska öden. Myteriet på Bounty har filmatiserats flera gånger, bland annat 1962 med Marlon Brandon i rollen som Fletcher Christian. ”Myteriet på Bounty består av allt det material, som äventyrsromaner är gjorda av. Dess historiska noggrannhet gör den inte mindre spännande. Berättarstilen är intressant med sin äkta 1700-talskänsla och är samtidigt uppfriskande charmerande och vacker.” – New York Times ”Inte bara en berättelse om havet; en berättelse om livet självt, om de varierande aspekterna av gott och ont i mänskligheten.” – Boston Transcript ”En helt och alldeles ovanlig och fullständigt tillfredsställande bok.” – Saturday Review
