Overview

The Kama Sutra—the famous Indian book of love—has defined eroticism and given many generations the insight and inspiration they have needed. It teaches the principle of knowing the partner better to get the most out of the joys of physical love and passion and reach unprecedented heights of mutual pleasure. Combined here are many rich, full-color reproductions of ancient pictures with logical and lyrical text.

Synopsis

The Kama Sutra is a two-thousand year old mystical treatise on sexuality read and revered for generations. This beautiful edition takes a contemporary look at the perennial classic and pairs the ancient text with vibrantly colored and richly detailed illustrations. Rare miniatures, gouache and tantric paintings and sculptures form the renowned archives of the University of Cambridge are published here for the first time. All this, the classic text, the brilliant artwork, and the insightful introduction, combine to create a magical book that every reader will enjoy and treasure.
