«Kama Sutra» is the classic Hindu treatise by Mallanaga Vatsyayana, published by Editors in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Contrary to what its fame suggests, it is not just a repertoire of positions: it is an ancient code of conduct that addresses civic life, personal grooming, morality, and relations between men and women. It devotes a section to pleasure and sexuality, but places it within a broader set of norms for human life.
Spanish edition based on the classic 1883 English translation by Sir Richard Burton and F. F. Arbuthnot; includes illustrations and footnotes.
For readers interested in classical Indian culture and the history of thought on sexuality, beyond seeking a practical guide.
Vātsyāyana was an ancient Indian philosopher, known for authoring the Kama Sutra. He lived in India during the second or third century CE, probably in Pataliputra.
