The Life Story of Sir. Burton
Burton, Sir Richard Francis (1821-1890), British explorer, linguist, and student of Asian cultures, one of the most famous mid-19th century European explorers of Africa. He is also known for his definitive translation of stories known under the title Arabian Nights and for his valuable travel literature on western Asia, Africa, and South America. Burton was born in Torquay, England, to an English army officer and his wealthy wife, the latter rumored to be descended from the French Bourbon kings. He was reared in France, England, and Italy and educated haphazardly along the way by tutors until he entered Trinity College, University of Oxford, in 1840. A headstrong young man, Burton preferred to study subjects that interested him-such as Arabic, philosophy, and mysticism-rather than the subjects in the standard curriculum. He was expelled from Oxford in 1842. II.TRAVELS IN ASIA AND ARABIA Deeply interested in Asian life and languages, Burton joined the army of the English East India Company in 1842 and served in Sind (what is now southern Pakistan) for seven years. During this time he traveled in Pakistan and western India, mixed with local people (sometimes passing as Asian in bazaars), and became increasingly familiar with local customs and proficient in several local languages as well as Persian and Arabic. These experiences set the stage for Burton’s pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca in 1853, which he made in the disguise of an Afghan physician. Burton became one of the first non-Muslims to enter Mecca. He sketched the central shrine, the Kaaba, and participated in all the rituals associated with the pilgrimage without being detected. These travels-which Burton described vividly in Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah (1855)-brought him fame throughout Europe.

EL VIAJE SIN FIN DE
RICHARD F BURTON
Quizá por ser más aventurero que explorador, Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) es un hombre que continuamente parece estarse reinventando: Oriente fue su mejor encarnación, como luego iba a conocer la gloria africana al pisar el suelo de Harar , la ciudad sagrada del este de África, de donde no había vuelto ningún intruso occidental. La reedición de El Capitán Richard F. Burton, de Edward Rice, pone de nuevo en escena aquel gran experto en dramatismo, una especie de "diccionario políglota andante" que en el futuro habría de brotar de él como si Richard Francis Burton, por sí solo, fuese la fuente de la protolengua, del lenguaje primordial, aglutinante y dotado de siete casos o inflexiones, según su biógrafo. Otro estudioso de la personalidad de Burton ha dicho que lo extraño es que, aunque tuviera el coraje de un hombre de la era isabelina y una salvaje energía animal, el afán por la catalogación corresponde al estilo victoriano.
El gnosticismo le atraía, frecuentó la práctica islámica y parece ser que acabó más bien entregado a los misterios del sufismo, pero no sin dejar de suponer que la idea de un Dios resulta fuera de lugar. Había visto la piedra negra de La Meca y supuso que era un aerolito. El explorador autócrata odiaba la esclavitud; el héroe victoriano creía en los beneficios de la poligamia; tras la vía erótica del

Sir Richard Francis Burton
A fencer in college, I became interested in the history of the sport, and in my research I discovered a man reputed to be one of the greatest fencers of the 19th century: Sir Richard Francis Burton . In subsequent reading I discovered, in my opinion, the most fascinating person of that or any other century. His swordsmanship was incidental; Burton was foremost an explorer, Orientalist, anthropologist, linguist, translator, author, and scholar. He was a man of immense learning and erudition and possessed remarkable physical charisma. It was written he had dark, "questing panther eyes" (that he used at times to hypnotize women) and a physique like a prize fighter, with broad shoulders and a deep-chested, often sardonic, sometimes sad laugh. How could one not love someone who, when frustrated by the attempts of his parents to make him learn the violin, smashed the instrument over the head of his teacher? Who became known as "Ruffian Dick" for challenging his classmates to duels ? Who preferred to spend his time with gypsies and prostitutes than with his fellow students? At Oxford Burton showed a marked lack of respect for most of his dons, who lacked his expertise and genius for languages. "I am among grocers!" he wrote home to his mother. (Of course, he used the French

The result of Wednesday's auction was both disappointing and humiliating for the Board of Deputies of British Jews , the umbrella organization that sought to sell the document after suppressing it for nearly 100 years. Sir Richard Burton , provoked a furious reaction from leading members of Britain's Jewish community.

    DA GAMA, VASCO
    Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) was a Portuguese explorer who found a route from Spain to the East. Da Gama sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, to India (and back) in 1497-1499. At that time, many people thought that it was impossible to do this since they thought that the Indian Ocean was not connected to any other seas. His patron was King Manuel I of Portugal, who sent da Gama, now an Admiral, on another expedition to India (1502-1503). After King Manuel's death, King John III sent da Gama to India as a Portuguese viceroy (the King's representative in India). Da Gama died in India in 1524.
    DRAKE, FRANCIS
    Sir Francis Drake (1545-1596) was a British explorer, slave-trader, privateer (a pirate working for a government) in the service of England, mayor of Plymouth, England, and naval officer (he was an Admiral). Drake led the second expedition to sail around the world in a voyage lasting from 1577 to 1580 (Magellan led the first voyage around the world).
