SUMMARY
FROM REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL EDITION: "Burton's own narratives...are classics of travel. Best known is the account of his journey to Medina and Mecca, closed to non-Muslims.... As Hayman observes, [Burton] reveals his volatile temper as well as his amazing capacity to assimilate information which must have been retained in his head, as no writing was permitted."--History TodayBurton, Richard is the author of 'Sir Richard Burton's Travels in Arabia and Africa Four Lectures from a Huntington Library Manuscript' with ISBN 9780873281317 and ISBN 0873281314.
