The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana. - Softcover
'If men and women act according to each other's liking, their love for each other will not be lessened even n one hundred years.' The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana is the classic text on lovemaking and fulfillment in matters of the heart. Written by Hindu philosopher Vatsyayana around the third century, it gained a new lease of life when in the 19th century it was translated into English by Sir Richard Burton. While many of the social practices described are now obsolete, the central theme of relationships between the sexes is as relevent today as it ever was and Vatsyayana's observations about behavior are enduringly perceptive. Candid, racy and illuminating, the Kama Sutra deserves its place as one the the world's most popular books. Fully Illustrated throughout.
