The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana

Viac o knihe

The Kama Suträ, an ancient Indian text on eroticism and emotional fulfillment, was originally composed in Sanskrit between 400 and 300 BCE. Richard Francis Burton's English translation, first published in 1883, made this work widely accessible and led to its status as one of the most pirated books in English. The text covers various topics, including sexual union, marriage, and attraction. Burton, a renowned explorer and linguist, is celebrated for his extensive travels and translations, and this edition includes a biography of him by James Sutherland Cotton.
