In deed and not in name, as we have already mentioned, the Kamasutra represents not an original piece of work, but a compilation and revision of previously existing texts written by other authors on the topic. It is the only book dedicated to the art of love of that time.You can read more about the features that caused such a delusion here. Frequently, instead of illustrations, a reader sees some samples of the Mongolian pictorial art. Those images appeared in the book on their way to Europe. Everything, that a single publication may propose, is just a simple fake. It should be noted, that the book contains almost none of the original illustrations. The ancient author’s life views, a travelling monk, still are the similar to the modern ones. The rest tells us about a deliberate and general investigation of genders in their mere diversity. Only 20 % of the text contains a description of the particular sex positions. This book is about sexual pleasure (the compendium of sex positions).The main misapprehensions, which a modern human may have concerning the sense and content of the Kamasutra, are based on the initial impression experienced by the Europeans and provoked by a translation of the book in the end of XIX century.
