«Un Kama Sutra español» is Luce López-Baralt's essay on the erotic treatise of the Spanish Golden Age, published by Siruela in paperback (511 pages, in Spanish).
A Morisco expelled to Tunis in 1609 composed a treatise mixing aphorisms and surahs from Muslim tradition with poems by Lope de Vega. López-Baralt contextualises the text, recovered from the Library of the Royal Academy of History, and explains the idea of sexual pleasure as a foretaste of paradise and of conjugal love as a spiritual path.
It is volume 1 of Siruela's Biblioteca Sumergida collection; it includes the edition of the text of the Kama Sutra español (pages 347-372) and bibliographic references (pages 483-511).
Aimed at readers interested in Golden Age literature, eroticism and the dialogue between Islamic and Spanish traditions.
