Publisher's Synopsis
The Kama Sutra of Vatsayayana is a classic Indian text on the art of love and sexuality. Originally written in Sanskrit by the philosopher Vatsayayana, the book is a comprehensive guide to the sensual pleasures of life. The book is divided into seven sections, covering everything from the nature of love and attraction to the various positions and techniques of sexual intercourse. The text also includes advice on courting, seduction, and the role of women in relationships. This edition of the Kama Sutra was translated by Richard F. Burton, a British explorer and scholar, and includes detailed illustrations of sexual positions and techniques. While the book is often associated with eroticism and sensuality, it is also a philosophical treatise on the nature of human desire and the pursuit of pleasure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
