«El libro del amor: En busca del Kamasutra» is the historical essay by James McConnachie published by Ediciones Paidós in hardcover (300 pages, in Spanish).
It traces the history of the Kamasutra, a celebrated but misunderstood Hindu text that originally described a sophisticated life, with advice on friendship or the home, and not just sexual practices. It follows the explorer Richard F. Burton, who introduced it to Victorian England, through to its later clandestine circulation.
The Spanish-language edition was published on November 13, 2008, within the Paidós Contextos collection; in the catalog record it is classified under Philosophy.
A popularizing approach for readers interested in cultural history, censorship, and the reception of classical texts.
