Richard Burton's life offers dazzling riches. He was one of the
greatest Victorian explorers, an innovative translator and
brilliant linguist, a prolific travel writer, a pioneer in the
fields of anthropology and sexual psychology, a mesmeric lover, a
spy and a publisher of erotica. Fawn Brodie has created a vivid
portrait of this remarkable man, who emerges from the richly
textured fabric of his time. His travels to Mecca and Medina
dressed as a Muslim pilgrim, his witnessing of the human sacrifices
at Dahomey and his unlikely but loving partnership with his pious
Catholic bride are all treated with warmth, scholarship and
understanding.
