About this product

Product Information

Notorious for his scandalously unexpurgated translations of The Arabian Nights and the Kama Sutra, British adventurer and author CAPTAIN SIR RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON (1821-1890) was also a soldier and explorer of fantastic renown in his day. The journals of his globetrotting exploits remain some of the most entertaining travel writing ever written. From 1856 through 1859, for instance, Burton roamed equatorial Africa-funded by Great Britain's Royal Geographic Society-exploring the "inland seas" and scouting out the potential for trade with the native tribes. In this 1860 book, he lays it all out for us, from run-ins with "petty chiefs" to wild bouts of drinking ("Kannena had not been sober for a fortnight"). Burton's "record of personal adventure" is a classic piece of Victorian geography and ethnology, but it's a plain old rip-roaring read, too.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
