Burton is a detailed historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work documents Burton's personal experiences and observations during his explorations of East Africa, particularly the lakes and regions that were largely uncharted at the time. The book combines geographical descriptions and ethnological information, providing insights into the cultures, landscapes, and challenges faced by explorers. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for his journey as he departs from Zanzibar Island aboard the corvette Artémise. He recounts the vibrant scenery of the region and the complexities of preparing for the expedition, including acquiring supplies and trying to secure porters for travel into the interior. The opening sections emphasize Burton's reflections on the political and cultural environment, as well as his interactions with local leaders and explorers, revealing both the anticipation and the trepidations associated with venturing into uncharted territories.
