About this book
Creators: Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) [Translator] "Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 6" by Richard Francis Burton is part of a translation series published between 1886-1888. This volume continues Burton's ambitious project of rendering the complete Arabian Nights into English without censorship. Burton's work includes extensive notes exploring Middle Eastern culture and customs, particularly sexual themes that scandalized Victorian society. Published privately to avoid obscenity laws, these supplemental volumes expanded his original ten-volume translation with additional tales from the Islamic Golden Age's legendary story collection.
