Description

Discover the true essence of The Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delight. For over a century, this work has been misunderstood due to Sir Richard Burton's bizarre translation, which often misinterpreted the original text. This edition from the Kegan Paul Arabia Library provides a necessary demystification of the content. Rather than being a work of pornography, this book serves as a historical manual intended for the ordinary married man of its time and place. While the text is remarkably lewd at times, it avoids lingering over unnecessary details or attempting to contrive excitement. This version offers a clearer look at the original work, moving past the tattered history and inaccurate translations of the past to present the text as it was intended.

Key Features

Provides a demystified version of the text to correct historical misinterpretations and bizarre previous translations.

Part of the respected Kegan Paul Arabia Library collection for authentic historical study.

Offers a clear perspective on the book as a practical manual for the ordinary married man of its era.

Presents a text that avoids unnecessary graphic detail, distinguishing it from standard pornography.

Published by Routledge to ensure a high-quality historical and literary resource.
