In ancient India, sex was not considered in opposition to spirituality. The sexual act was assigned a place of honor. This collection features the "Caurapankasika" (the fifty poems of the love thief), attributed to the 11th-century Kashmiri poet Bilhana, alongside other erotic poems from classical Indian texts like the "Subhasitaratnakosa", "Amarusataka", and "Sattasai". Translated and introduced by Jorge Sousa Braga, this edition provides a profound look at the erotic experience in ancient Indian literature, accompanied by various illustrations.
