- Résumé : The narrative unfolds in the city of Bassorah, where the benevolent King Mohammed bin Sulayman al-Zayni rules. His Wazir, Al-Fazl bin Khakan, is tasked with finding a beautiful slave-girl for the King. Al-Fazl purchases Anis al-Jalis, a remarkably talented and beautiful maiden, for ten thousand dinars. However, Al-Fazl's son, Nur al-Din Ali, falls in love with her, and they secretly become lovers. When Al-Fazl discovers this, he is initially furious but eventually forgives his son, allowing them to be together. Unfortunately, Al-Fazl falls ill and dies, leaving Nur al-Din to manage his affairs. Nur al-Din, however, squanders his inheritance on lavish parties and gifts for his friends, who abandon him when his wealth runs out. In desperation, Nur al-Din decides to sell Anis al-Jalis to recoup his losses. At the market, the Wazir Al-Mu'in bin Sawi, an enemy of Nur al-Din's family, attempts to buy her. To avoid this, Nur al-Din pretends to chastise Anis al-Jalis and claims he brought her to the market only to fulfill an oath. The Wazir, humiliated by Nur al-Din, plots revenge by reporting the incident to the Sultan, who orders Nur al-Din's arrest. Warned by a loyal chamberlain, Nur al-Din and Anis al-Jalis flee to Baghdad. They find refuge in a garden belonging to the Caliph Harun al-Rashid, where they are discovered by the gardener, Shaykh Ibrahim. Initially intending to punish them, Shaykh Ibrahim is charmed by their plight and offers them hospitality. The story highlights themes of love, loyalty, and the consequences of extravagance, set against the backdrop of a richly described medieval Islamic world.
- 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.
