There’s never been a book quite like the Kama Sutra…until now. While the original—crafted so wisely as a love, courtship, and sex manual—is synonymous with the idea of erotic skills and exotic passion, some of its ideas just don’t apply to modern-day morals, practices, and culture. Here, however, is the essence of that classic work, with the most important knowledge enhanced and beautifully presented with exquisite photography: the 24 major positions, plus an additional 40 taken from such famed erotic guides as the Ananga Ranga and the Perfumed Garden. That’s 64 detailed paths to pleasure, along with a few appetite-whetting extras. Details from modern science and body/mind philosophy combine with passages from the Kama Sutra’s text to combine the best of the ancient and the new.
