An ancient text. A timeless exploration. A guide to love, intimacy, and human connection.
For centuries, the Kama Sutra has been regarded as the classic work on the art of living and loving. Written in Sanskrit by Vatsyayana, this foundational text goes far beyond its reputation as a manual of physical pleasure. It is a meditation on relationships, aesthetics, and the balance between duty and desire.
In this accessible English edition, translated by Sir Richard Burton and F.F. Arbuthnot, readers are introduced to the philosophy of love in seven parts—covering courtship, marriage, intimacy, and the social customs of ancient India. With its blend of practical guidance and spiritual reflection, the Kama Sutra remains a unique cultural document: both a historical artifact and a living conversation about the human experience of love.
More than a book of instruction, it is a mirror of human longing and the search for harmony between body, heart, and spirit.
