เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821–1890) was a British explorer, geographer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, cartographer, ethnologist, spy, linguist, poet, fencer, and diplomat. Renowned for his wide-ranging interests and substantial contributions to knowledge, Burton was a prolific author and a daring adventurer. His noteworthy ability to master languages and cultures allowed him to produce one of the first unexpurgated translations of ‘The Arabian Nights’ which introduced Western readers to a rich tradition of Middle Eastern folklore. His explorations were not confined to literature; Burton also embarked on extensive travels, including his famous attempt to discover the source of the Nile River with fellow explorer John Hanning Speke. Burton’s literary style reflects his passion for culture and adventure, weaving his observational acuity with his experiences among diverse peoples. His work, ‘The Jew, The Gypsy, and El Islam’ (1898), showcases this blend of scholarly insight and narrative flair, as Burton explores the historical and social nuances of these cultural groups. The book displays Burton’s contentious views and his keen ethnographic eye, featuring discussions on rituals, language, and the controversies of the times. Burton’s oeuvre is a testament to his role as a complex, enigmatic figure of the 19th century, whose life and work continue to fascinate scholars and adventure seekers alike.
