About the Book The Jin state was formed in southern Korea in the 3rd century BC. During the Goryeo period, laws were codified, a civil service system was introduced, and Buddhist influenced culture flourished, but Mongol invasions in the 13th century brought Goryeo under its influence. In 1392, General Yi Seong-gye established the Joseon dynasty, which lasted to 1910. By the mid 19th century Joseon Korea was forced to sign unequal treaties with foreign powers. In 1905, the Korean Empire signed a protectorate treaty with Japan, which in 1910 annexed it. After WW2 the Allies divided the country, and in 1948, when the powers failed to agree on the formation of a single government, the peninsula was divided at the 38th Parallel. The new premier of Soviet/China-backed North Korea, Kim il-Sung, launched the Korean War in 1950. This division has continued to the present day. Also in this Book Titles from Russian drama reflect the movement towards realism, which began sooner than anywhere else. The Moscow Art Theatre, 1898, led reform of a Russian theater hitherto dominated by melodrama, to one where high-quality drama was made available to the public. That year the theater opened Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. In the early part of the 20th century, Russia experienced a cultural Silver Age, with a significant number of theaters offering realistic or naturalistic theater. After the Russian Revolution, many theater artists left Russia for other countries.And in this Book Russian poetry experienced a Golden Age in the first half of the 19th century, and is often called the Age of Pushkin, after its most significant poet. Mikhail Lermontov and Fyodor Tyutchev were considered the most important Romantic poets after Pushkin, while Vasily Zhukovsky and Konstantin Batyushkov are considered his finest precursors. The Ukrainian language poetry of Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) had a profound effect on the re-birth of the language and national consciousness, as the Ukrainian language had suffered persecution under the Russian Empire. Other outstanding Ukkrainian poets included Ivan Franko (1856-1916), who wrote in western Ukraine under Austria-Hungary, and Lesya Ukrainka (1871-1913).About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

With all the appearance of a man striving to solve one of the world's weightier problems, Freddy Farmer studied the Hotel Savoy menu card line by line from top to bottom. Across the table Dave Dawson sat looking at his closest pal, and grinning from ear to ear. Eventually, though, when the English-born air ace continued to take the menu apart bit by bit with his eyes, Dawson decided that enough was enough. He reached over and whisked the card out of Freddy's hand."Okay, little man," he chuckled. "I'll tell you what the big words mean, if you like. Now, this one, here—water. That's stuff that comes in a glass. You drink it. It also comes down out of the sky in what we call rain. It flows under bridges, and—""And please stop, I beg you!" Freddy snapped. "My sides ache with laughter. I couldn't possibly stand another of your hilarious remarks. And hand back that menu before I take measures that will get us both thrown out of this hotel!""But why hand it back?" Dawson laughed. "Holy smoke! Don't you know it by heart yet? For fifteen solid minutes you've been looking at the thing.""Quite," the other replied gravely. "And thoroughly enjoying myself making believe. Hand it back, please, young fellow!""How's that?" Dave echoed, and passed the menu. "Making believe? I don't get you.""Knowing the limits of your so-called flashes of brilliance, I can well imagine!" Freddy shot at him. "However, the fact of the matter is that here in London food is rationed. And there are many, many savory dishes that don't even appear on menus any more. So, to make myself feel good, every time I pick up a menu I simply imagine that all the pre-war dishes are there. And I have a lot of fun deciding just what I'll order. Do I make myself clear?"Dawson sighed heavily, and shook his head."Too clear," he said sadly. "Lately I've been suspecting that you were going just a little bit screwy. Now I know! And me waiting here, polite like, while you fumbled around! What a guy!"

Bowen turned to writing in 1930, using his prestige as editor-in-chief of Aviation Magazine to write Flying From The Ground Up, a non-fiction work on how to fly an airplane. He began freelancing for pulp magazines. In 1934, he started his own pulp magazine, Dusty Ayres And His Battle Birds, for Popular Publications. Twelve issues were released, the first eleven published monthly from July 1934 through July 1935, with most issues released monthly. Bowen continued writing for mystery, adventure, sports, and aviation pulp magazines through the 1950s. After the invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939 sparked World War II, Crown Publishers called Bowen, asking for an adventure story based on the war. The Dave Dawson series , also known as the War Adventure series, was the result. Bowen got to work immediately, and the first book, Dave Dawson At Dunkirk, was published in 1941. A total of 15 volumes were released between 1941 and 1946.
