Sample Book Insights:
#1 Burton was a Victorian adventurer who traveled extensively across Europe and Asia. He was one of the greatest European swordsmen of his day, and he learned modern Greek in Marseilles.
#2 The Kasidah is a pre-Islamic classical Arab poetic form that begins with an evocation of a desert encampment. It was highly respected in Islam's early days, but saw its heyday in the Victorian era, when it was regarded by some as the highest form of poetic art.
#3 The second strand of cosmopolitanism is the recognition that humans are different and that we can learn from each other's differences. This is reflected in the European receptiveness to art and literature from other places.
#4 Burton was a man who traveled extensively and was exposed to many different cultures and beliefs. He had many racial prejudices, and he rarely intervened to help the people he met who were suffering.
