The Land of Midian

Richard F Burton

"The Land of Midian" is a travel narrative written by Sir Richard Francis Burton. The book, published in 1879, documents Burton's journey through the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the region traditionally known as Midian, which includes parts of modern-day Saudi Arabia. In "The Land of Midian," Burton provides detailed observations of the geography, culture, and people of the Arabian Peninsula. His travels often involved exploration of areas not well-known to the Western world at the time. Burton, a renowned Victorian explorer, linguist, and scholar, brought a deep cultural and linguistic understanding to his writings. For readers interested in Victorian-era travel literature, Arabian exploration, and the works of Richard F. Burton, "The Land of Midian" offers a valuable glimpse into the Arabian Peninsula during the late 19th century. Burton's thorough observations and engaging writing style contribute to the enduring appeal of his travel narratives.
