Sir Richard Burton 
The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana 

Written by Vatsyayana sometime between the 1st and 6th centuries A.D., ‘Kama Sutra’ is literally translated as ‘Aphorisms on Love.’ Intended as a manual for not only love and intimacy but also a treatise on the politics and customs of relationships between men and women. The ‘Kama Sutra’, while sought after for its instruction on sexual positions, is much more than just a guide for lovemaking. Presented here is the classic translation of Sir Richard Burton.
