- Résumé : "The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night" Volume 02, translated by Richard F. Burton, continues the captivating tales of the Arabian Nights. This volume delves into the story of Nur al-Din Ali, the son of a respected Wazir in Bassorah, who finds himself in a series of misadventures following the death of his father. Nur al-Din inherits a beautiful slave-girl, Anis al-Jalis, whom his father had purchased for the Sultan. However, Nur al-Din falls in love with her and decides to keep her for himself, leading to a conflict with the envious Wazir Al-Mu'in bin Sawi. As Nur al-Din squanders his wealth on lavish entertainments, he eventually faces financial ruin. In a desperate attempt to resolve his situation, he decides to sell Anis al-Jalis, but the cunning Wazir Al-Mu'in seeks to exploit the situation to his advantage. The narrative unfolds with themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle for survival, as Nur al-Din and Anis al-Jalis navigate the challenges posed by their circumstances. The story is rich with cultural references, poetic interludes, and moral lessons, characteristic of the Arabian Nights' storytelling tradition.
- Biographie : Burton was born in Torquay, Devon, at 21:30 on 19 March 1821; in his autobiography, he incorrectly claimed to have been born in the family home at Barham House in Elstree in Hertfordshire. He was baptised on 2 September 1821 at Elstree Church in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. His father, Lt.-Colonel Joseph Netterville Burton, of the 36th Regiment, was an Irish-born British army officer of Anglo-Irish extraction who through his mother's family—the Campbells of Tuam—was a first cousin of Lt.-Colonel Henry Peard Driscoll and Mrs Richard Graves. Richard's mother, Martha Baker, was the daughter and co-heiress of a wealthy English squire, Richard Baker (1762-1824), of Barham House, Hertfordshire, for whom he was named. Burton had two siblings, Maria Katherine Elizabeth Burton (who married Lt.-General Sir Henry William Stisted) and Edward Joseph Netterville Burton, born in 1823 and 1824, respectively.
