Erotic | Self-Help
A gorgeous deluxe edition of the world's most celebrated
guide to life, love, relationships and pleasure. Little is known about Vatsyayana, who is reputed to have
composed the Kama Sutra "while observing a celibate's life
in full meditation." In Sanskrit the word "kama" means
desire, especially for sensual pleasure, and its proper
pursuit was considered an essential part of a young, urbane
gentleman's well-rounded education. Untold numbers of readers are curious about the Kama Sutra
but put off by its clichéd image as an erotic Oriental
curiosity. This elegant edition offers a compelling modern
translation of a classic Indian masterpiece-and a wry and
entertaining account of human desire and foibles.
