Kamasutra
ISBN: 9780199539161 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Kamasutra is the oldest extant textbook of erotic love.

It combines an encyclopedic coverage of all imaginable aspects... The Kamasutra is the oldest extant textbook of erotic love. But it is more than a book about sex.
