The world's oldest and most widely read guide to the pleasures and techniques of sex, the Kama Sutrawas compiled in the fourth century A.D. by a Brahmin and religious scholar name Vatsyayana, who worked from texts dating back to the fourth century B.C. Until the present, the only English translation of his Hindu love classic was that of the famous English explorer Sir Richard Burton, published in 1883. Unlike Burton's version, Alain Daniélou's new translation preserves the numbered verse divisions of the original and includes two essential commentaries: the Fayamangalacommentary, written in Sanskrit by Yashodhara during the Middle Ages, and a modern Hindi commentary by Devadatta Shastri. Whereas Burton's Victorian reluctance to translate certain terms obscured our understanding of the philosophy and techniques of the Kama Sutra, Daniélou has preserved the full explicitness of the original, dealing with everything from the art of scratching to relations with the wives of others. Realistic and pragmatic in its approach, the Kama Sutradeals without ambiguity or hypocrisy with all aspects of sexual life--including marriage, adultery, prostitution, group sex, sadomasochism, male and female homosexuality, and transvestism. The text paints a fascinating portrait of an India whose openness to sexuality gave rise to a highly developed expression of the erotic.… (mere)

Danielou is the foremost living interpreter of Hinduism. His books are remarkable for their clarity, scholarship, and uninhibited celebration of erotic and mystical ecstasy. This is a complete new translation of the Kama Sutra. It captures al of its enchantment, a world of refined sensation totally without humbug

Interesting view into human sexuality and spirituality through the lens of the Hindu religion. ( )

La prima traduzione contemporanea che non cerca di "annacquare" il testo, e non si concentra unicamente sui capitoli "erotici" del testo, ma analizza in profondità uno dei libri di base della civiltà Indiana. ( )

Come on who hasn't at some point in their life picked this up and flicked through it. Turned it upside down, trying to figure out just what is going on. Honestly if you need a guide for this stuff you're not thinking hard enough. ( )

This is a very *interesting* book ;) Aside from the positions which we all know it includes there is a lot of other really outdated stuff. It's hard to believe that people once followed this book as an authority LOL
The most hilarious chapters are the ones on superstitious beliefs and the discussions of home cooked remedies, for example:

Apply to the lips every day the sweat from the testicles of a white horse mixed with yellow arsenic....I don't think so! LOL

This book is great for a laugh. I recommend putting it in the bathroom as it's great reading when you only have time for brief snippets.
