Sobre l'autor
Sir Richard Francis Burton (19 March 1821 – 20 October 1890) was a British explorer, geographer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, cartographer, ethnologist, spy, linguist, poet, and diplomat renowned for his travels and explorations within Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Burton's intellectual gifts and formidable linguistic skills were matched by a range of interests that encompassed a vast array of cultures and religions. Despite 'How to See a Play' often mistakenly attributed to him due to sharing a name with a modern author, Richard Burton, the Victorian polymath, did not pen this work. Instead, his literary legacy includes pioneering translations, such as 'The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night' (1885), often referred to as 'The Arabian Nights', 'The Kama Sutra' (1883), and 'The Perfumed Garden' (1886). His translation works not only unlocked the mysteries of Eastern literature for the Western world but also revealed his profound understanding of the complexities and diversities of human culture and sexuality. Burton's prose was marked by a florid and meticulous style, reflecting his academic rigor and the rich tapestry of the societies he meticulously studied and interacted with. His writings stand as a testament to his role as a bridge between worlds, simultaneously a product of his time and a precursor to modern ethnography and cultural anthropology.
