Here, for the flrst time, Sir Richard Burton and F.F. Arbuthnot's translations of three classic Eastern love texts have been published in one volume, illustrated in color with a dazzling and unique collection of Indian painting and sculpture.These erotic treatises are not "sex manuals" in the modern sense~clinical collections of coital postures~but a more encompassing and sens?tive exploration of Eastern sexual customs. The idea that something as natural as sexuallty could be shameful in any way would have been incomprehensible to the old sage Vatsyayana who wrote Kama Sutra as a religlous duty nearly 2,000 years ago. Kalyana Malla wrote his Ananga~Ranga wlth the worthy intention of preventing "separation of the married pair." And even if Shelkh Nefzawl was a little less pious in intention, he can be forgiven for the poetry and humor in his Perfumed Garden. As an expression of human culture, and as a "pillow book" for the modern boudoir, the Kama Sutra (the most famous work on sex ever written), the Ananga~Ranga, and Perfumed Garden set forth the principles of sexual pleasure with candor and grace, celebrating the sclence of love as an ecstatic expression of life's beauty. Sir Richard F. Burton (1821~1890) was one of the greatest traveler~explorers in history, whose lfe has recently been chronicled both in blography (Captain Sir Richard Burton) and film (Mountains of the Moon). Famous as the translator of The 1001 Arablan Nights, Burton also searched for the headwaters of the Nile and was the discoverer of the central lakes of Africa. Orlentallst, prolific author, and member of the Royal Geographic Society, he was one of the most remarkable and controversial men of his century.…
