Explorer and inventor, soldier and poet, archaeologist and diplomat, Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was the most versatile and remarkable man of his age. But he was foremost an adventurer: “an adventurer in the intellectual and the spiritual as well as the physical world.” Byron Farwell brilliantly recreates the sheer excitement of Burton’s achievements and astonishing range of interests in this fascinating biography.

Wanted to listen to a biography on Burton. I did some research into what was available, hoping to find one that was more skeptical of the fantastical lies he was known to tell about his life. Unfortunately, this is the only one audible offers. Still it has decent modern reviews, so I gave it a try. Within eleven minutes the author had insulted women four different times.
