Description
The Kama Sutra is the most famous work on sex ever written. Although only the '64' the second part of Sit Richard Burton's version deals exclusively with sex. this is the 'Kama Sutra' of the popular imagination. There is much more to the work than that. Within the restraints of space, the other elements of the original which relate the 'sex-manual' to the society for which it was written have been retained.
The sexual content of the three works in this volume is the main purpose of the book, but sex is also the best bridge between those cultures and our own. Some anthropologists have been notorious for entering into the sexual lives of people they are studying in order to understand them better; Freud even connects the early sexual researches of children to the later development of their intellectual powers. Sex is a good way to begin understanding another culture, just as it is a good way to begin understanding another individual.
