Famoso en todo el mundo por su voraz apetito por los viajes, las mujeres, la vida y el conocimiento prohibido, Richard F. Burton escandalizó a la sociedad victoriana. La interpretación que Rice hace de él es tan dramática, compleja y convincente como el propio personaje. Richard F. Burton es una figura victoriana deslumbrante y descomunal, y la espléndida biografía de Rice ofrece un retrato tan dramático, complejo y convincente como el propio personaje. Ninguna biografía sobre él es tan definitiva y amena como esta. El capitán sir Richard Francis Burton (Torquay, Devonshire, 1821-Trieste, 1890), escritor, militar, místico, científico, explorador, diplomático y agente secreto del gobierno británico, es el paradigma del erudito aventurero del siglo XIX, convertido en leyenda viva para sus propios contemporáneos. En este fascinante libro, Rice recrea las hazañas de un personaje brillante, derroche de audacia y magnetismo, que hablaba veintinueve idiomas y tenía una gran habilidad para acceder a lugares donde ningún hombre blanco había estado haciéndose pasar por nativo. Fue el guía de una expedición que recorrió el vasto territorio africano en busca del origen del Nilo, algo que ningún europeo había hecho, y llegó a ciudades prohibidas como La Meca, Medina o la sagrada Harar. Rice destaca también la formidable curiosidad intelectual de Burton y sus impresionantes logros literarios: escribió las crónicas de sus viajes por América, Asia y África, tradujo diecisiete volúmenes de Las mil y una noches y descubrió para Occidente el Kama Sutra y el Ananga Ranga. En su obra expresó su rechazo de algunos errores del colonialismo británico o de la mojigatería victoriana, así como de algunas costumbres bárbaras que conoció durante sus viajes. Pero, por encima de todo, Burton intentó dar sentido a su existencia a través de una constante búsqueda espiritual, a veces con la ayuda del opio o de otras drogas, e interesándose por la cábala, la alquimia, el cristianismo y diversas religiones orientales, para acabar convertido al sufismo, disciplina mística que practicó hasta el fin de su vida. «Lleno de acción e intriga [...]. Cualquier novelista que inventara un personaje como Burton sería acusado de aunar lo imposible y lo improbable, pero resulta que realmente él era así». Atlantic Monthly«Esta obra maestra de historia y biografía convierte las aventuras de la vida real de Burton en un relato fascinante [...]. La última gran obra sobre el último gran explorador de la era colonial». Wall Street Journal
