After his diplomatic sojourn in Syria as consul in Damascus,
Richard Francis Burton (1821 90) published, in 1872, this
two-volume account of nineteenth-century Syria. It is the result of
collaboration with several partners with specific expertise,
primarily Charles Frederick Tyrwhitt Drake (1846 74) but also
Burton's wife. Throughout his life Burton immersed himself in as
many different cultures as possible. His natural aptitude for
languages and disguise allowed him to frequently pass himself off
as a native. The two years he was consul were eventful, including
local uprisings, an assassination attempt and religious strife.
This work reveals the unknown and extraordinary side of Syria.
Volume 2, based on extensive travels through the northern highlands
and the eastern edges of the country, explores the anthropology,
ancient history, archaeology and geology of these regions.
