Burton
Byron Farwell
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.
