Product Description

Product Description
Sexual frankness without a hint of guilt or prurience is the great legacy which the Eastern, and in particular Indian, traditions have given us. As an expression of human culture and as a pillow book for the modern boudoir, the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana, the most famous work on sex ever written, the Ananga-Ranga of Kalyana Malla, and Sheikh Nefzai's Perfumed Garden, set forth the principles of sensual pleasure with poetry, wisdom and humour, celebrating love as an ecstatic expression of life's beauty. Here, for the first time, Sir Richard Burton's translations of the classic Eastern love texts have been published in one volume. The first Kama Sutra to be illustrated in colour with a dazzling and unique collection of Indian painting and sculpture. These erotic treatises are not sex manuals in the modern sense clinical collections of coital postures but a broader and more humane exploration of Eastern sexual customs.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is in no way complete., 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Unfortunatelythis edition edits out pieces on astrology, folk medicine, magic etc., which leaves us with just another attempt to cash in on these books sleazy reputation, but perhaps that's what the populace wants.

2.0 out of 5 stars AN ENLIGHTENING EXPERIANCE., 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I really enjoyed the superb graphics and very informative text. Whether you are celebate or sexually active, you must accept the fact that a very big part of the human experiance is sexual. The Kama Sutra can strip away the un-neccesary shame and guilt that the pragmatic western philosophies have instilled upon our culture. Sex is a perfectly natural and neccesaery form of communication and means of survival of the species. Mark A. Yenichek
