About the author

Sir Richard Francis Burton

Sir Richard Francis Burton

1821–1890

A fearless Victorian traveler and gifted linguist, he became famous for journeys that pushed far beyond the limits accepted by most Europeans of his time. He is still remembered for his pilgrimage to Mecca in disguise, his East African explorations, and his vivid, controversial translations.
