The world's oldest and most widely read guide to the pleasures and techniques of sex, the Kama Sutra was compiled in the fourth century A.D. by a Brahmin and religious scholar name Vatsyayana, who worked from texts dating back to the fourth century B.C. Until the present, the only English translation of his Hindu love classic was that of the famous English explorer Sir Richard Burton, published in 1883.

Unlike Burton's version, Alain Dani lou's new translation preserves the numbered verse divisions of the original and includes two essential commentaries: the Fayamangala commentary, written in Sanskrit by Yashodhara during the Middle Ages, and a modern Hindi commentary by Devadatta Shastri. Whereas Burton's Victorian reluctance to translate certain terms obscured our understanding of the philosophy and techniques of the Kama Sutra, Dani lou has preserved the full explicitness of the original, dealing with everything from the art of scratching to relations with the wives of others.

Realistic and pragmatic in its approach, the Kama Sutra deals without ambiguity or hypocrisy with all aspects of sexual life--including marriage, adultery, prostitution, group sex, sadomasochism, male and female homosexuality, and transvestism. The text paints a fascinating portrait of an India whose openness to sexuality gave rise to a highly developed expression of the erotic.

Luxury feel and a cozy sleep
Color: 04 - Mineral Blue, Size: King
I was hesitant to purchase these for my new, deep king mattress due to concerns that the fitted sheet might not stay in place. I took the plunge and have absolutely no regrets, in fact, I came on here to purchase another set. The color is true to picture and beautiful. The fabric is soft, and only gets softer with each wash. The corners fit perfectly and do not budge, no slipping and shifting. I could not be happier with these sheets.

Buy these! Best sheets ever.
Color: 02 - Beige, Size: California King
These sheets are the best I have ever bought and I’m old, so I have tried many different sheets over the years. No more night sweats. I sleep so much better. I almost did not buy them because I am cheap. I also have a very think mattress and these fit very well and easy to make the bed. I actually thinking about buying another set and storing them for future use in case I can’t find them again in the future. These are very much worth the price.

Great sheets
Color: 01 - Ivory, Size: Queen
Love these sheets. They are comfortable, wash up well and fit a sleep number bed. The cotton has some softness to it but not so much as to feel like polyester. I would buy them again! They are a good value for sleep number beds!

Soft and cool and comfortable!
Color: 02 - Linen, Size: Queen
These are the best cotton sheets I’ve ever had. They are more than large enough for my very deep queen mattress and the extra straps they have on the corners are helpful too. They are so comfortable to sleep in. I’m a very hot sleeper but these sheets stay nice and cool and don’t smother me like other sheets do. I really love them, so much I bought a second set already because you can’t beat that price for 100% cotton.
