Richard F. Burton V2: His Early, Private And Public Life, With An Account Of His Travels And Explorations (1887) is a comprehensive biography of the renowned British explorer and adventurer, Sir Richard Francis Burton. Written by Francis Hitchman, the book delves into Burton's early life, his personal relationships, and his public career as a soldier, diplomat, and scholar.The book also provides a detailed account of Burton's travels and explorations, which took him to remote regions of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Hitchman draws on Burton's own writings and other primary sources to paint a vivid picture of his subject's experiences, including his famous journey to Mecca disguised as a Muslim pilgrim.Throughout the book, Hitchman explores Burton's complex personality and the controversies that surrounded him, including his sometimes controversial views on religion, sexuality, and race. The result is a rich and nuanced portrait of one of the most fascinating figures of the Victorian era, and a compelling exploration of the era's attitudes towards exploration, imperialism, and cultural difference.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
