Author Description

The kama sutra is an ancient Indian text on sexuality, eroticism and emotional fulfilment in life. The kama sutra is a sex manual on sex positions and also a guide to the "art of living" well. Written by Vatsyayana sometime between the 1st and 6th centuries A.D., "Kama Sutra" is literally translated as "Aphorisms on Love." Intended as a manual for not only love and intimacy but also a treatise on the politics and customs of relationships between men and women. The "Kama Sutra", while sought after for its instruction on sexual positions, is much more than just a guide for lovemaking. Presented here is the classic translation of Sir Richard Burton.
