review 1: Weil ich soeben Eistau gelesen viel mir auf, dass ich den Weltensammler noch nicht eingetragen habe. Im Vorjahr gelesen und für eines der tollsten Bücher über Entdeckungs - u. Entwicklunsreisen befunden. Basierend auf der Biographie von Richard Burton geht die Reise nach Indien, Arabien, Afrika. Ein richtiger Abenteuerroman und dabei eine Erzählung von anderen Kulturen usw. Unbedingt auch lesen.
review 2: The book is a fictional biography for the great explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton told in 3 sections with a preface and conclusion. Each is told in alternating reminisces of a servant and Burton. The first covers his early career in the West India British military. Not one to seek or fit in the the typical officer, he learns languages and dresses as a na... moretive. On being transferred north to Muslin territory, he adopts Islam dress and customs. Part two of the book covers his time in Cairo and his pilgrimage to Medina and Mecca. Finally, the journey into the east African jungle and desert to find the source of the Nile with the explorer Jack Speke. The is a well written book translated from the original language less
