Pilgerfahrt nach Medina und Mekka
Zwei legendäre Städte und eine verbotene ReiseSir Richard Burton gibt sich 1853 bei seiner Ankunft in Kairo als britischer Untertan afghanischer Herkunft aus, um das Land als Europäer inkognito erforschen zu können. Er arbeitet zunächst als Arzt und beschäftigt sich intensiv mit den kulturellen Sitten und den religiösen und orthodoxen Regeln des Landes als Vorbereitung seiner bevorstehenden großen Reise. Am 25. Juli erreicht Burton Medina, das er erkundet und ausführlich beschreibt. Nicht zuletzt Dank seines Freundes und treuen Begleiters Muhammad Al-Basyuni gelingt es Burton das Innere zahlreicher Heiligtümer zu betreten und alle Riten der Hadsch zu vollziehen.-

Selected Papers on Anthropology, Travel, and Exploration
Finding from my own personal experience how troublesome it is to hunt through piles of dusty old volumes, I have decided to make a small selection of these papers which I consider are not only rare and v interesting, but which also give an insight into the varied activities and achievements of Burton’s crowded life. Even if local libraries fail to yield an old volume of some magazine long since withdrawn from circulation, one is almost certain of finding it at the British Museum. But then the British Museum is accessible only to a comparative few, and even those few will find that back numbers of journals, etc., are stored away'in a distant building and several days’ notice has to be given before a required volume can be procured. Finally, some of the Burton pamphlets are so rare that the chance of finding them is little less than an impossibility. It will, I think, be realized that such a volume as this will not be superfluous, for, apart from saving people an enormous amount of' trouble, it will give them further insight into the life-work of one of the greatest men of the Victorian era.

Pilgrimage to Medina and Mecca-Excerpts
In the 19th century, Sir Richard Francis Burton-Oxford-educated spy and adventurer-became the first Englishman to enter the Muslim city of Mecca. Disguised as a dervish, Burton braved the harsh desert climate, Bedouin bandits, and the scrutiny of Muslim travelers to reach the forbidden city. He recorded his experiences in this book, a fascinating adventure of unique anthropological significance.
