The Kama Sutra of Vatsayana : The Classic Hindu Treatise on Love and Social Conduct

The 1964 publication of Sir Richard Burton's translation marked the first wide
appearance in English of the Kama Sutra and was celebrated as a literary event
of highest importance. As vital to an understanding of ancient Indian
civilization as the works of Plato and Aristotle are to the West, the Kama
Sutra has endured for 1,700 years as an indisputable classic of world
literature.

Written with frankness and unassuming candor, the Kama Sutra remains one of the
most readable and enjoyable of all the classics of antiquity. A work of
philosophy, psychology, sociology, Hindu dogma, scientific inquiry, and
sexology, the Kama Sutra's importance is so great that it has at the same time
both affected Indian civilization and remained an indispensable key to
understanding it.
