Published for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns on 25 January 2009, The Wind that Shakes the Barley is the classic novel of his life and times. Although he died at the age of just 37, Robert Burns had an extraordinary life. Born into poverty and hardship, the family somehow managed to hire a tutor for the young Robert and his intelligence and passion were obvious from an early age. It was the start of a journey that would see him become one of the most talented and respected writers we have ever produced. The Wind that Shakes the Barley is the first book in James Barke s quintet of novels about Robert Burns and brings his early years vividly to life. The quintet was Barke s life s work and this is the finest and most accessible novel about Robert Burns ever written.

About the Book Naval history titles focus on the area of military history dealing with war at sea, which is a sub-discipline of the broader field of maritime history. Most of that focus has been on combat between ships at sea, although frequently naval strategy is centered around the need to protect transport shipping. Some of the epic sea battles of all time are: Salamis, between the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire under King Xerxes (480BC); Lepanto, between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire (1571); Trafalgar, between the British and French navies (1805); Tsushima Straights, between the Japanese and Russian empires (1905); and Midway, between Japanese and US carrier forces (1942).About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
