"The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 01 (of 10)" by Richard Francis Burton is a translation published in 1888. Burton's complete and unexpurgated English rendering of the Arabian Nights preserves the sexual content that Victorian-era publishers removed. Printed privately to avoid obscenity laws, this controversial work features extensive footnotes on Oriental customs and sexuality. Burton's archaic language and personal scholarly obsessions have drawn both admiration and criticism, making this translation as notorious for its translator's eccentric approach as for the timeless tales it contains.
