Dit bestand bevat de volledige tekst van vijf klassieke werken vertaald door Sir Richard Burton. Deze boeken zijn: Vikram en de vampier: klassieke hindoeïstische verhalen over avontuur, magie en romantiek; The Kasidahof Haji Abdu El-Yezdi, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyanana, The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus en The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night (ook bekend als The Arabian Nights – de volledige 16-delige editie). Volgens Wikipedia: “Kapitein Sir Richard Francis Burton (19 maart 1821 – 20 oktober 1890) was een Britse geograaf, ontdekkingsreiziger, vertaler, schrijver, soldaat, oriëntalist, cartograaf, etnoloog, spion, taalkundige, dichter, schermer en diplomaat. Hij was bekend voor zijn reizen en verkenningen in Azië, Afrika en Amerika, evenals zijn buitengewone kennis van talen en culturen. Volgens één telling sprak hij 29 Europese, Aziatische en Afrikaanse talen. Burtons bekendste prestaties zijn onder meer reizen in vermomming naar Mekka, een ongekuiste vertaling van Duizend-en-een-nacht (in het Engels ook wel The Arabian Nights genoemd naar de verkorting van Andrew Lang), waardoor de Kama Sutra in het Engels wordt gepubliceerd, en op reis met John Hanning Speke als de eerste Europeanen onder leiding van Afrika’s grootste ontdekkingsreizigergids, Sidi Mubarak Bombay, gebruikmakend van route-informatie van Indiase en Omaanse kooplieden die handel dreven in de regio, om de Grote Meren van Afrika te bezoeken op zoek naar de bron van de Nijl. Burton bekritiseerde uitgebreid het koloniale beleid (ten koste van zijn carrière) in zijn werken en brieven. Hij was een productief en erudiet auteur en schreef talloze boeken en wetenschappelijke artikelen over onderwerpen als menselijk gedrag, reizen, valkerij, schermen, seksuele praktijken en etnografie. Uniek aan zijn boeken zijn de overvloedige voetnoten en bijlagen met opmerkelijke observaties en ongekuiste informatie. Hij was kapitein in het leger van de Oost-Indische Compagnie en diende in India (en later, kortstondig, in de Krimoorlog). Hierna werd hij ingehuurd door de Royal Geographical Society om de oostkust van Afrika te verkennen en leidde hij een expeditie onder leiding van de lokale bevolking en was de eerste Europeaan die het Tanganyika-meer zag. Op latere leeftijd diende hij als Britse consul in Fernando Po, Santos, Damascus en, ten slotte, Triëst. Hij was een Fellow van de Royal Geographical Society en werd in 1886 geridderd.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":38,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","kk_blocks_editor_width":"","_kiokenblocks_attr":"","_kiokenblocks_dimensions":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"ocean_post_layout":"","ocean_both_sidebars_style":"","ocean_both_sidebars_content_width":0,"ocean_both_sidebars_sidebars_width":0,"ocean_sidebar":"0","ocean_second_sidebar":"0","ocean_disable_margins":"enable","ocean_add_body_class":"","ocean_shortcode_before_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_after_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_before_header":"","ocean_shortcode_after_header":"","ocean_has_shortcode":"","ocean_shortcode_after_title":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_bottom":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_bottom":"","ocean_display_top_bar":"on","ocean_display_header":"on","ocean_header_style":"center","ocean_center_header_left_menu":"0","ocean_custom_header_template":"0","ocean_custom_logo":0,"ocean_custom_retina_logo":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_height":0,"ocean_header_custom_menu":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_family":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_subset":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_size":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_unit":"px","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_line_height":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_unit":"","ocean_menu_typo_spacing":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_unit":"","ocean_menu_link_color":"","ocean_menu_link_color_hover":"","ocean_menu_link_color_active":"","ocean_menu_link_background":"","ocean_menu_link_hover_background":"","ocean_menu_link_active_background":"","ocean_menu_social_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_links_color":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_color":"","ocean_disable_title":"default","ocean_disable_heading":"default","ocean_post_title":"","ocean_post_subheading":"","ocean_post_title_style":"background-image","ocean_post_title_background_color":"","ocean_post_title_background":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_image_position":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_attachment":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_repeat":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_size":"","ocean_post_title_height":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay":0.5,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay_color":"","ocean_disable_breadcrumbs":"default","ocean_breadcrumbs_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_separator_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_hover_color":"","ocean_display_footer_widgets":"default","ocean_display_footer_bottom":"default","ocean_custom_footer_template":"0","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1820","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"\n
