Autoren-Porträt von Richard Francis Burton
Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was a prolific British explorer, writer, translator, and linguist noted for his flamboyant character and multifaceted career. His translations were often among the first to bring Eastern literature to the Western world. Among his most celebrated translations is 'The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana' (1883), which he co-translated alongside Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot. This text, an ancient Indian Hindu work on human sexual behavior, reflects Burton's deep interest in the customs and sexual practices of different societies. Known for an adventurous life that involved deep cultural immersion, Burton mastered numerous languages and dialects. Not limiting himself to 'The Kama Sutra,' he is also famed for his translations of 'The Arabian Nights' and 'The Perfumed Garden,' both of which further cemented his reputation as an interpreter of Eastern sensuality and erotic tradition for the Victorian audience. Burton's literary style is marked by a scholarly rigor combined with a narrative flair that makes his renditions both academically authoritative and engaging for a broad readership. His works not only provided insights into the cultures he explored but also challenged the sexual mores and prejudices of his own society, making him a significant, if controversial, figure in Victorian literature.
