Description

A fully illustrated Kama Sutra from the extraordinary and rare art collection of Lance Dane • The first complete translation to illustrate all 64 sexual postures described in the Kama Sutra • Includes 269 rare images • Composed by one of the world’s foremost scholars of the Kama Sutra and Indian art The erotic sentiments described in the Hindu love classic the Kama Sutra constitute the most famous work on sex ever created. Written almost 2,000 years ago, the Kama Sutra deals with all aspects of sexual life, including the principles and techniques of sexual pleasure and how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life’s beauty. In this complete and illustrated guide Lance Dane accompanies the Kama Sutra text with 269 illustrations and great works of art that encompass coins, palm leaf manuscripts, sculptures, ancient toys, jewelry, architecture, ivory combs, birch bark, cloth, paintings, frescoes, and scrolls. Gathered from museums and private collections around the world—as well as the author’s own collection of over 300,000 photographs—these rare images clearly illustrate all 64 sexual positions and the erotic instructions set forth in the Kama Sutra.

    • Defying Mainstream Obscurity
There are two types of people in this world. There are people who have heard of the Kama Sutra and people who have actually read it. It goes without saying that there are far more of the former in this world than the latter. Finding an electronic edition of such an ancient work that, by all reasonable standards, stands the test of time, easily warrants giving it five stars, especially since the translation quality of the text is of the highest order. Although I can understand why there are those who may not have the highest opinion of this edition because of the quality of the illustrations, I believe that regardless of their quality, because the text is all there, it impels the reader to work to understand what they are reading. Also, because this is an electronic edition, one would not need to worry about whatever physical defects might accompany a paperback or hardcover edition. In short, I highly recommend this book. ... show more

    • Fun Book for Adults
My husband and I read this together and enjoy it with a smile. I just purchased it as a Christmas gift for a newlywed couple in their late sixties who'd never seen it. They love it too! Really a comprehensive "marriage manual," as we used to call such books. A love-making guide covering everything from how to bathe, to flowers in the bed, to positions and ensuring your partner's pleasure. Poetic translation and lovely illustrations in the old Indian style representative of the 2000 year old Vatsayana classic treastise. ... show more

    • Great Guide for Both a Visual and Textual Introduction to The Kama Sutra
This book provides an easy to access overview of the ancient traditions of the Kama Sutra. This is not a sex book, nor is it pornographic. It outlines a way of living that is based on seeking pleasure, yet remaining in tune with god, nature and other living things, especially women. This book is illustrated with lots of full color images that date back centuries and depict eroticism in a tasteful way. People interested in learning the way of the Kama Sutra will find this book to be a great overview and introduction. It should be considered both an historical text as well as a guide to understanding, oneself and their connection to nature and humanity. Definitely buy this book if you are interested in living a life of fulfillment. ... show more

    • Good Text, Bad Artwork
I was expecting a pretty good edition of the actual Kama Sutra text, which it is. I was also expecting the artwork to be both more relevant to the appropriate parts of the book, not merely random, poor examples of Indian erotic art. Given India's rich artistic history and brilliant executions of erotic painting and stonework, this left me unfulfilled and confused as to its textual relevance. Like finding a random family photo in an Ikea furniture manual. ... show more

    • Deceptive... inaccurate and thoroughly misleading!
Pathetic! Do not fall for the title or the cover-page... Someone rightfully said to never judge a book by its cover, and in this case, it may look and sound like authentic info, but it is not. This (book) is a representation of a person who just comes to give you unsolicited advice while appearing "wise" but the advice is of no value... It is NOT what you're actually looking for! ... show more
