The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 05 (of 10) by Burton
"The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 05 (of 10)" by Richard Francis Burton is a translation published in 1888. Burton's landmark work presents the complete, unexpurgated Arabian Nights in English for the first time, preserving the sexual content and cultural details that earlier Victorian translators had censored. This fifth volume continues Burton's controversial approach, combining vivid storytelling with extensive scholarly footnotes exploring Oriental customs and sexuality. His
archaic, extravagant style and obsessive annotations made this both celebrated and criticized as a highly personal interpretation of these ancient Middle Eastern tales. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
