Goa, and the Blue Mountains: Or, Six Months of Sick Leave
Richard F. Burton with an Introduction By Dane Kennedy
Penguin, New Delhi, India, 2004, 0-14-303177-5 / 9780143031772, First Edition, Paperback, New, New,
Goa, And the Blue Mountains, published in 1851, was Richard Burton’s first book. After he was expelled from Oxford for unruly behaviour, Burton joined the British Indian Army and spent five happy years in Sindh before an attack of cholera sent him south to the Nilgiris. He renounced the comforts of a steamer to amble down the coast in a pattimar. His matchless drollery makes his adventures and misadventures a hilarious and transporting read.

Richard F. Burton
Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India, 1997, 81-215-0771-5 / 9788121507714, Reprint, Cloth, New, New,
Sind Revisited is an account of Sind and is a unique work by the indefatigable Richard Burton. Having visited Sind more than once and with his keen observation, Richard Burton has provided much useful information about this very ancient land in his own inimitable style. The description of places and people inhabiting the "Young Egypt"-the nick name applied to Sind-the legends and myths, history, society and social mores, religious beliefs, politics and of course, the ruins which Sind abounds in, food habits, the Anglo-Indian army, railroads and several other subjects are narrated in the distinctive style of the author. His remarks on the character of the inhabitants and their peculiar traits as well as idiosyncrasies make interesting reading. The incidents recorded in the book are marked by wit and humor so very characteristics of Richard Burton, the versatile raconteur. Conveniently bound together, the two volumes of Sind Revisited should interest students of history as well as those who are fond of travelling in the past. Printed pages: 692. 022782

Sindh and the Races that Inhabit the Valley of the Indus: with notices of the topography and history of the Province
Richard F. Burton
Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India, 1998, 81-215-0823-1 / 9788121508230, Reprint, Cloth, New, New,
The present work is the culmination of Richard Burton's five-years stay in Sindh, where he had the opportunity to learn the manner and customs, the domestic details, and the religious opinions and language of the people among, and with whom, he lived. He found the previous descriptions of Sindh and its inhabitants of little use; they were either too popular in nature, or written with a view of imparting a superficial knowledge of the language. Richard Burton has narrated in this work long descriptions of the studies, religion and ceremonies peculiar to the race inhabiting Sindh, the first specimens of language, and notices of the literature ever printed, and also the first detailed account of native habits and customs, manner and ceremonies. This work would be useful to not only linguists, ethnographers, and historians but also general readers who are fond of travelling in the past. Printed Pages: 430 with 1 map. 029207
