Review

"Gives us the dazzling artwork from museums and private collections worldwide... fascinating...sex has not changed in over 2,000 years."

Product Description

The erotic sentiments described in the Hindu love classic the KAMA SUTRA constitutes the most famous work on sex ever created. Written almost 2000 years ago the KAMA SUTRA deals with all aspects of sexual life including the principles and techniques of sexual pleasure and how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life's beauty. In this complete and illustrated guide Lance Dane accompanies the KAMA SUTRA text with 250 illustrations and great works of art that encompass coins palm leaf manuscripts sculptures ancient toys jewellery architecture ivory combs birch bark cloth paintings frescoes and scrolls. Gathered from museums and private collections around the world--as well as the author's own collection of over 300000 photographs--these rare images clearly illustrate all 64 sexual positions and the erotic instructions set forth in the KAMA SUTRA. The result is a dazzling and sensuous reading experience through which the teachings of the KAMA SUTRA spring to life. The first complete translation to illustrate all 64 sexual postures described in the KAMA SUTRA Includes 250 rare images Composed by one of the world's foremost scholars of the KAMA SUTRA and Indian art

Misleading title 31 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover
I was doing a presentation on Kama Sutra and ended up buying this book in addition to 3 other KS's. The title is misleading. Though it has illustrations, they do not correspond to the text. I mean, as a reader, you will not be able to make sense of the text and match it with the illustrations. I found it helpful to read the plain text and look at Anne Coopers Kamasutra.

The Complete Illustrated Kama Sutra - Lance Dane 2 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Of the versions available in bookstores, this one I thought to be most comprehensive in content. The graphics are reproductions of original art and not real life couples - which is a relief, and pleasing to the eye.

The presentation falls short in that the book - for it's size - has print too bold, and the graphics are intimidating. But for a person who is looking for a good Kama Sutra to own - for it's artistic and historic significance - this one will work out just great.

Good historical info 28 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is good for historical and artistic content. However, if you are looking for something more modern that will show you actual poses, don't get this book.

Perfect 25 July 2007
By Athena Early - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is the exact form of the Kama Sutra that I have been looking for. It is illustrated with original Indian artwork. It is an abridged version of the Kama Sutra text but it has the sections that most individuals are most often interested in, the ones on sex. It is not a book that is all about sex but has a large part about relationships and gives some good insight into the Indian culture.
