Summary:

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.
