Kama Sutra, or Aphorisms on Love, is one of the most widely read and enjoyed of the ancient classics. Written in India nearly two centuries ago and translated by the great Richard Burton, this landmark of sensuality explores the rules and commandments of love, pleasure, and mutual gratification with frankness and celebration. In this beautiful new rendering, traditional art and illustrations provide a pleasing accompaniment throughout. Packaged with a beautiful satin-bound cover and clasp.
Sir Richard Francis Burton was the first to translate the Kama Sutra into English. He was known for his travels and explorations within Africa and Asia and for his knowledge of languages and cultures.
Richard Burton (1861-1940) was an American author and literary critic. His works include Dumb in June (1895), A Midsummer Melody (1910), and Little Essays in Literature and Life (1914).
