The Kama Sutra is a classic guide to the art & skills of sex & love, written in Sanskrit by the Indian thinker Vatsyayana. Love should be an ecstatic experience, but sexual happiness is only likely if both partners have a detailed understanding of sexual behavior. The Kama Sutra, therefore, includes comprehensive detail on the practical aspects of sex. This book is a paperback edition of the classic translation by the British scholar & explorer Sir Richard Burton & F.F. Arbuthnot, a retired Indian civil servant, & edited by W.G. Archer. It was only published widely in Great Britain in the early 1960s, 80 years after its initial appearance.

HE became famous as the translator of The 1001 Arabian Nights , and was one of the most remarkable and controversial men of his century.
