Full Description
The 15th-century Arabian text The Perfumed Garden is one of the greatest of world classic erotic texts, along with India's The Karma Sutra. It is primarily a manual for sexual activity of all kinds, dealing in some considerable detail with physical attributes, foreplay, coital positions and advice for how to achieve greater satisfaction for both partners, as well as sexual health. In addition, it contains some enlivening stories of sexual encounters and sexual needs fulfilled. Richard Burton famously translated it in 1886. Jonathan Keeble reads with aplomb.
