This carefully crafted ebook: «Kama Sutra – Annotated (The original english translation by Sir Richard Francis Burton)» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This is the unabridged original english translation (with all the comments and annotations) made by Sir Richard Francis Burton and first published in 1883. The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian Hindu text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sexual intercourse. It is largely in prose, with many inserted poetry verses. «Kama» which is one of the three goals of Hindu life, means sensual or sexual pleasure, and «sutra» literally means a thread or line that holds things together, and more metaphorically refers to an aphorism (or line, rule, formula), or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual. Contrary to popular perception, especially in the western world, Kama sutra is not just an exclusive sex manual; it presents itself as a guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life and other aspects pertaining to pleasure oriented faculties of human life. Content Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra has 1250 verses, distributed in 36 chapters, which are further organized into 7 parts. According to the Burton translation, the contents of the book are structured into 7 parts like the following: 1. General remarks Chapters on contents of the book, three aims and priorities of life, the acquisition of knowledge, conduct of the well-bred townsman, reflections on intermediaries who assist the lover in his enterprises (5 chapters). 2.

Richard Francis Burton war einer der gr??en Abenteurer aller Zeiten. Er sprach ?ber 30 Sprachen, hatte als Muslim verkleidet Mekka und Medina besucht und auf einer sensationellen Expedition zu den Quellen des Nils den Tanganjikasee entdeckt. Als ihm 1877 vom in finanzielle N?te geratenen Vizek?nig von ?gypten der Auftrag erteilt wurde, im legend?ren biblischen Land Midian nach Gold f?r die Schatzkammern zu suchen, witterte Burton die Chance auf neue Abenteuer und Ruhm - Burtons Bericht bietet dem Leser und heutigen Reisenden ein faszinierendes Bild eines Landes, in dem Gold gesucht, stattdessen aber unbezahlbare landschaftliche und kulturelle Sch?tze gefunden wurden, die heute noch im Nordwesten Saudi-Arabiens, Burtons sagenhaftem Midian, zu finden sind.

Книга «Новая система фехтования саблей для пехоты» представляет собой пособие, специально разработанное Р. Бертоном в 70-е годы XIX века на основе новых техник и методик фехтования в армиях Европы. Книга содержит критику недостатков предыдущих систем фехтования, изложение его т.н. «манжетной системы» (системы ударов в руку) и предложений по улучшению конструкции эфеса сабли (в приложении). Впервые была издана в 1876 году. На русский язык переведена впервые.

Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was a preeminent British explorer of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. His famed disguised pilgrimage to Mecca in 1853 made his name known. Burton helped demystify this exotic Eastern world to the West. In «Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah and Meccah», we are gifted with his personal account of his Haj. Full of insightful anthropological observations, Burton describes his encounters with Arab cultures and customs. This exciting tale revolves around his disguising as an Afghan doctor in order to not be noticed in his religious pilgrimage. Burton was more than an explorer, though; he was a translator, soldier, cartographer, and spy. His fascinating character comes through brilliantly in this travel account as we discover the East through the eyes of an outsider. Burton's «Narrative» is as much an adventure story as it is a study in cultural anthropology—a true classic of travel writing that helped define the genre.

Sir Richard Burton gibt sich 1853 bei seiner Ankunft in Kairo als britischer Untertan afghanischer Herkunft aus, um das Land als Europ?er inkognito erforschen zu k?nnen. Er arbeitet zun?chst als Arzt und besch?ftigt sich intensiv mit den kulturellen Sitten und den religi?sen und orthodoxen Regeln des Landes als Vorbereitung seiner bevorstehenden gro?en Reise. Am 25. Juli erreicht Burton Medina, das er erkundet und ausf?hrlich beschreibt. Nicht zuletzt Dank seines Freundes und treuen Begleiters Muhammad Al-Basyuni gelingt es Burton das Innere zahlreicher Heiligt?mer zu betreten und alle Riten der Hadsch zu vollziehen.
