A fully illustrated Kama Sutrafrom the extraordinary and rare art collection of Lance Dane.
Written almost 2,000 years ago, the Kama Sutra deals with all aspects of sexual life, and how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life's beauty. Augmented with 269 illustrations and works of art gathered from museums and collections around the world, the result is a dazzling and sensuous reading experience through which the teachings of the Kama Sutra spring to life.
"It is not, in fact, a pornographic work, but a book depicting the art of living for the civilized and refined citizen, finding its expression in the sphere of love, eroticism, and the sensual pleasures of life. . . . Rather than calling the Kama Sutra pornography and hiding it on the highest shelf of their bookcases, Western readers should see it as the expression of a refined, sophisticated people on the art of love."
