A Book about Love and Wine. Eros and Alcohol in India

«A Book about Love and Wine» is dedicated to the most exciting aspects of traditional Indian culture. The «Book» is a collection that includes both scientific articles and translations of original Sanskrit texts. Among them is the Kama Shastra «Kadamvara-svikarana-karika», which has not been translated into any European language before.
The art of love, the life of courtesans, the perception of corporeality and the nude body in art and in the practice of Tantra — all of this can be explored by picking up this unique publication. In addition, a separate article is devoted to the perception of alcohol by Indians. It may shock some that the assortment of alcoholic beverages available to them could make Bacchus's followers from the Mediterranean coast envious.
