Sir Richard F. Burton (1821-1890) was one of the greatest traveler-explorers of history, whose life has recently been chronicled both in biography (Captain Sir Richard Burton) and film (Mountains of the Moon).
An explicit, but also consummately witty and graceful celebration
of erotica.-- "Libido"
The Park Street Press edition is the first illustrated reproduction
of Burton's original translation. Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it. The
Victorians did, even if they claimed they didn't. You won't be
disappointed.-- "Ben Trumble, Whole Earth Review"
