Description

Kama signifies sensual or sexual pleasure, and sutra literally means a thread or rule that holds things together, or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual. The book of Kama Sutra is not just an exclusive sex manual however, it features a complete guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life and other aspects pertaining to pleasure oriented faculties of human life.

Author

Mallanaga Vatsyayana is the name on the Kama Sutra, a classical Sanskrit treatise of love, manners, and social life in ancient India. Little of the author's biography survives; the book is the life. Desire here is studied with the same patience others gave to law or ritual — rooms, conversation, and the art of paying attention. Two titles on this list. The Sutra is wiser and drier than its later fame.
