The scope of this biography of Richard Burton does full justice to his life. “no man can be all things at once, no matter how hard he tried, but no man tried harder than Richard Francis Burton”. He made significant contributions in the fields of literature and geography. He was also a poet, traveller, soldier, diplomat, inventor, explorer, archaeologist, student of religion and more besides. Above all, however, Burton was an adventurer. (Publishers information).
