Description

"Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 2" by Richard Francis Burton is part of a translation series published between 1886-1888. This volume belongs to Burton's seven supplemental volumes that followed his controversial ten-volume Arabian Nights translation. Known for its unflinching approach to sexual content and extensive scholarly footnotes, Burton's work challenged Victorian sensibilities and faced obscenity concerns. Published privately for subscribers only, these tales from the Islamic Golden Age sparked both admiration and accusations of plagiarism, creating one of literature's most debated translations.
