description: <b>Sir Richard Francis Burton </b>(18211890) was a gifted linguist, a daring explorer, a prolific author, and one of the most flamboyant celebrities of his day. Forced to leave Oxford for unruly behavior, he joined the British Army in India, where he gained a remarkable knowledge of Arabic, Hindustani, and Persian, eventually acquiring twenty-nine languages and many dialects. He led the famed expedition to discover the source of the Nile and, disguised as a Muslim, made a pilgrimage to the city of Mecca, then forbidden to non-Muslims, and penetrated the sacred city of Harare in uncharted East Africa. Burton translated unexpurgated versions of many famous texts including the <i>Kama Sutra </i>(1883) and <i>Arabian Nights </i>(1885-88), which is perhaps his most celebrated achievement.<br /><br /><b>Daniel Beaumont </b>is an associate professor of Arabic language and literature at the University of Rochester and the author of <i>Slave of Desire</i>, a critical study of the <i>Arabian Nights</i>. He is also a teacher and scholar of the blues.<br /><br /><b>Jack Zipes </b>is a professor of German at the University of Minnesota. The author of several books on fairy tales, including <i>Dont Bet on the Prince, Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion</i>, and <i>Breaking the Magic Spell</i>, he is the editor and translator of <i>The Complete Tales of the Brothers Grimm </i>and the editor of Signet Classicss <i>The Complete Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde</i>.
