Summary "The Life of Captain Sir Richard F. Burton, volume 2 (of 2)" by Lady Isabel Burton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This memoir delves into the life of the adventurous and multifaceted Richard F. Burton, a renowned explorer, linguist, and diplomat, as narrated by his wife. The narrative highlights their experiences during Richard's consulship in Trieste, covering various travels, social interactions, and personal challenges faced by the couple. At the start of the volume, we see Richard departing for Trieste, marking the beginning of his last eighteen years. Isabel recounts her journey to rejoin her husband, filled with detours through notable European cities, before arriving in Trieste, where they adapt to their new life. She describes their living situation in a hotel and the adjustments made to embrace the local culture while managing Richard’s health and work obligations. Through anecdotes about their social life, encounters with notable figures, and vivid depictions of their explorations, the opening offers insight into the Burtons' unique relationship and the rich tapestry of their experiences in a politically volatile city.
