ONDAATJE, CHRISTOPHER

Sindh Revisited: A Journey in the Footsteps of Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton 1842-1849 The India Years

Toronto, HarperCollins. 1996, 1st Can Ed. (ISBN: 0002554364) Hardcover. Book, Since reading a biography of him more than 25 years ago, Christopher Ondaatje has been fascinated with the still-enigmatic Sir Richard Francis Burton, 19th-century explorer, scholar, poet and British secret agent. With his dashing dark and sensual looks, towering physical presence and razor-sharp tongue, Richard Burton could have been invented by a Victorian novelist -- but he was very real, accomplishing an amazing range of intellectual and physical exploits. From his discovery and translation of the Kama Sutra, to his exploration of the source of the Nile, to his pilgrimage to Mecca, and his widely known beliefs on female sexuality, Burton was the star -- and scandal -- of the Victorian age. Despite the presence of several biographies on Burton, Ondaatje believed there were large gaps in the startling drama that was the explorer's life. Sindh Revisited is the author's account of his personal and physical quest to uncover the secrets of the early life of Richard Burton, and to discover the "devil" that drove this brilliant and restless adventurer.Ondaatje began his quest in Bombay, trying to discover' what it was about India (ha changed Richard Burton from a rebellious wayward youth into a man of courage, imagination, wisdom and power. His retracing of Burton's travel, through India is a passionate and richly layered meeting of past and present, magnificently illustrated with full cole photographs and historical illustrations.The result is not just a simple biography, but an account of a man's psychological and philosophical journey in search of answers the have long mystified biographers and historians.

OXTOBY, WILLARD GURDON

Experiencing India: European Descriptions and Impressions, 1498-1898

Toronto, Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto. 1998, 1st Canadian Edition. (ISBN: 077276025X) Soft cover. Book, An Exhibition Held at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto, 19 January -21 March, 1998 The variety of European encounters with the Indian subcontinent, from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries, was the theme of this exhibition. Two things developed in the fifteenth century that frame the start of the historical period. One was printing from movable type, introduced in Europe by Johann Gutenberg in the 1450s. The other was navigation, permitting the Portuguese Bartolomeu Diaz to sail into the Indian Ocean, around the southern tip of Africa, in 1488, and another Portuguese navigator, Vasco da Gama, to reach the shores of India in 1498, exactly five hundred years ago. The ensuing record of discovery and travel, as it unfolded, was published in early European printed books that have come to be highly prized by collectors and libraries. The Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library of the University of Toronto is fortunate to possess a representative range of materials, principally in English, from these four centuries.The exhibition and catalogue were by Professor Willard G. Oxtoby, Comparative Study of Religion, Trinity College, University of Toronto. The catalogue won an Honourable Mention award from the Rare Books and Manuscripts Sections of the American Library Association. 104p. illus. New Book from Publisher.
