Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796), also known familiarly as Rabbie Burns,[a] was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is in a "light Scots dialect" of English, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.
He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish diaspora around the world. Celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th centuries, and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature. In 2009 he was chosen as the greatest Scot by the Scottish public in a vote run by Scottish television channel STV.
As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) "Auld Lang Syne" is often sung at Hogmanay (the last day of the year), and "Scots Wha Hae" served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain well known across the world today include "A Red, Red Rose", "A Man's a Man for A' That", "To a Louse", "To a Mouse", "The Battle of Sherramuir", "Tam o' Shanter" and "Ae Fond Kiss".

View translationBook arrived - but only just! Not packaged very well at all. Placed in a too-big Jiffy bag that meant it got damaged in all parts of its journey. By the time it reached me, the bag was torn.

View translationbought 2 books, one very small, asked seller to combine shipping but he never answered. paid 46 euros (23 for each shipping) but books actually arrived in one parcel only. asked for refund, no answer
View translationIn case of multiple lots seller structurally charges double/triple postage but sends only a single parcel. This is not allowed. Simply notify Catawiki and seller will be summoned to reimburse.
View translationMooie boeken, onverwachts bezorgd.
View translationPas op. Veel te late verzending. Ongeldige track & trace. Verkoper heeft dubbele verzendkosten in rekening gebracht en is door Catawiki gesommeerd deze terug te betalen. Kavel was wel in orde.
View translationSeller's response
De verzendkosten zijn terugbetaald, maar moet wel eerst wachten op uitbetaling van catawiki, dus een onterechte beoordeling. De tracking code werkt gewoon. Zeker gezien de boeken bijna gratis gewonnen zijn, een zeer onterechte beoordeling.
Fine
View translationAppreciated the careful and robust packaging!
