Burchardt did not love his life as a merchant. After his father's death, he used his small inheritance to be a privateer. But he was drawn out into the world. He prepared for his adventures by learning the languages of the inhabitants of Africa's coasts, Swahili, and Arabia's deserts. Thus he went to the Orient. Soon, in 1903, he traveled along the Persian Gulf, from Basra to Muscat in a hundred days. This journey is illuminated by his photographs. A book not only for globetrotters that invites comparisons of then and now through expertly discussed photos. Burchardt's lecture to the Gesellschaft fur Erdkunde in Berlin on the Gulf trip rounds out this bilingual volume.
