Sinossi
Il Kamasutra è il più celebre trattato erotico del mondo. Nato in India e composto in sanscrito, è un vero e proprio manuale dedicato all'eros (Kama) in tutte le sue sfaccettature. Partendo dal presupposto che nella vita sono tre gli obiettivi da raggiungere, il testo affianca il Kama (l'eros) al Dharma (religione e giustizia) e all'Artha (utile e affari). Sulla base di questo impianto teorico, il Kamasutra affronta una nutrita serie di temi: dalle dimensioni anatomiche degli amanti alle posture per il coito, dal come procurarsi una moglie a come sedurre quelle altrui, fino a concludersi con un improbabile ricettario magico per enfatizzare la virilità. La sezione più nota del testo in Occidente, quella sulle acrobazie sessuali, copre in realtà meno di un settimo del Kamasutra, un testo che quindi ha ambizioni molto più vaste e filosofiche. La presente edizione ha il pregio di essere tradotta direttamente dal sanscrito.

Unable to read. Pages were stuck together.
Coming from a strong background in philosophy and the Classics, I found this book to be an invigorating read. In general, nobody has any idea what Kama Sutra means, what the books is or what the author intended it to be. Simply put, dispel yourself of any preconceived notions before you read even th Leggi tutto
Sutra nghĩa là kinh. Phàm kinh cổ thì cứ nên đọc hết, bất cứ thuộc tôn giáo tín ngưỡng nào thì cũng đều hay cả. Hay thì nó mới thành kinh và tồn tại tới giờ ;)) Kama nghĩa là khoái lạc thì lại càng nên đọc lắm =)) Tóm lại, Kama Sutra hay vì nó đúc rút từ cả một nền văn hóa rực rỡ, tồn tại qua thử th Leggi tutto

Like most children, my brother and I knew where everything was in our house, paying particular attention to the things we weren't supposed to know about. This book was contained in a shoebox in the closet of my parent's bedroom. The Kama Sutra is commonly mismarketed as a sex guide or as pornography. Leggi tutto
Arguably the hottest non-fiction book I've ever read - the translator has done a fantastic job of not only providing a translation of the original text, but also including translations of the commentaries by ancient Hindu authorities. The book is less pornographic than you would think - I have seen c Leggi tutto
3.75 stars Admittedly I was curious as to what this book actually was. It's an infamous book that has made it on to numerous "must read before you die" and "taboo" book lists, but that doesn't necessarily mean I knew what it was. When I had the chance to read this small snippet of it I took it. I rem Leggi tutto
A seemingly antiquated theory of finding love, giving it, and keeping it. As stated prior. I do wish to respect all religions, especially those of the Hindu dharma. Although there are some good points in here, most is thorny, demeaning to women, and misleading to men. It's not very poignant in it's
admittedly i did not read cover to cover, but i read enough to get a good sense. i was surprised to discover that much of it read like emily post's book of etiquette but for subjects such as kissing, scratching and biting (as in love play), how to behave toward the first wife if you are the second w Leggi tutto
