Description
This book with exquisite renderings of miniature art and interwoven with practical and informed text, retells the celebrated work in a jaunty, pragmatic style, and analyses the gamut of sexual relationships and modes - ranging from tender romantic love to conjugal concord.
Ever since the Kamasutra of Vatsyayana was brought out of its seclusion in Sanskrit scholarship by Sir Richard Burton's masterly translation, it has been a source of information for generation of readers regarding the myriad expressions of sexuality.
The Art of Kamasutra retells the celebrated work in a jaunty, pragmatic style, and analyses the gamut of sexual relationships and modes - ranging from tender romantic lobe to conjugal concord.
Exquisite renderings of miniature art, interwoven with practical and informed text, make the book instructive without being an academic treatise.
