The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 10 (of 10) by Burton
"The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 10 (of 10)" by Richard Francis Burton is a translation published in 1888. This final volume completes Burton's unexpurgated English translation of the Arabian Nights, featuring stories from the Islamic Golden Age. Burton's work includes extensive footnotes on Oriental customs and sexuality, which led to private publication to avoid Victorian obscenity laws. The volume contains his controversial "Terminal Essay," including a
lengthy section on sexuality that sparked both admiration and criticism for its scholarly yet provocative approach. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
