Description
Tastefully produced and beautifully illustrated, this gift edition treats the subject of male and female sexuality in separate volumes, suggestively entitled The Amorous Man and The Sensuous Woman. .
The Kama Sutra is an ancient classical work on the art of love. Its uniqueness lies in that it discusses the theme of sexual pleasure without any feeling of shyness or shame. The author, Vatsyayana, talks about 'kama', that is, sexual pleasure, and explains the rules which should govern life according to Kama. .
Through its discussion on erotic love, the book manages to highlight the social customs and individual habits of ancient India. The male-female union is portrayed in all its splendor through the use of Indian miniatures and Khajuraho sculptures. .
Kama, the Hindu God of Love, does not merely represent sexual pleasure, but all pleasures emanating from the five senses of sound, sight, smell, touch and taste. This book is meant to enhance your perception of pleasure in the world around you, as you live your life on this bounteous planet.
