Sir Richard Francis Burton (19 March 1821 – 20 October 1890) was an British explorer, poet, writer, translator, linguist, ethnography, hypnotist, fencer and diplomat. He was famous for his research in Asia and Africa, as well as its exceptional knowledge of languages and different cultures. Burton was a captain in the army of the East India Company, serving in India (and later, briefly, in the Crimean War). In life, Burton was a very controversial figure.
"The Vampire's Sixth Story. In Which Three Men Dispute about a Woman" is a excellent short story by Sir Richard Francis Burton. This book tells about the life of Brahman called Keshav. He lived in the city, which was called Dharmasthal - the Place of Duty. He was a very pious man, in the constant habit of performing penance and worship upon the river Sidi. Soon, this man's life will change dramatically, under the pressure of a serious circumstance.
