Recenzii

"This clear and elegant new translation is the work of A. N. D. Haksar, a former Indian diplomat and a well-known translator of Sanskrit classics. It’s worth attending to, and not merely because Valentine’s Day is nearly here, and your partner might find this sleek new Penguin Classics edition an intellectual aphrodisiac, though it contains no erotic illustrations, except several sublime ones on its cover. (For a certain audience, all Penguin Classics are trance-inducing objects of lust.)"

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Little is known about Vatsyayana, who is reputed to have composed the "Kama Sutra" while observing a celibate's life in full meditation. This elegant deluxe edition offers a compelling modern translation of a classic Indian masterpiece--and a wry and entertaining account of human desire and foibles.
