Краткое описание:
The Life of Captain Sir Richard F. Burton is a 2 volumes biography of a British explorer, writer, ethnologist, spy, Freemason, and diplomat, written by his wife Lady Isabel Burton. Burton was famed for his travels and explorations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, as well as his extraordinary knowledge of languages and cultures. Burton's travels and services were widely known and popular, so the author's main goal was to show the real man beneath the cultivated mask that generally hid all feelings and belief. Lady Isabel tells the story of her husband and his achievements through the story of their common life, providing some exclusive information from their private life and showing side of his life that was not known to the public.
