Burtons most notable feats include disguising himself to travel to Mecca, producing an unexpurgated translation of The Book of One Thousand Nights and A Night, and introducing the Kama Sutra to the English-speaking world. He also embarked on a groundbreaking expedition with John Hanning Speke, guided by Africas greatest explorer, Sidi Mubarak Bombay, where they sought the source of the Nile.
