Synopsis
Excerpt from The Real Sir Richard Burton
Loads of books will be written about him, and every one will be difierent; and though perhaps it will be an unseemly boast, I venture to feel sure that mine will be the truest one, for I have no interest to serve, no notoriety to gain, belong to no party, have nothing to sway me except the desire to let the world understand what it once possessed, what it has lost. With many it will mean I.' With me it means Him.'

Synopsis
Excerpt from The Real Sir Richard Burton
There is a strong feeling that it is time to recognise the fame of the great explorer; and that it is but fair to place the name Of Burton with Livingstone and Stanley.
