Mário Cabral e Sá
10,00 €
GOA’s fascination and charm arise partly from its sheer natural beauty and partly from its distinct Indo-Iberian culture. Goa’s best known contemporary writer, Mario Cabral e Sá, attempts to capture the essence of this amalgam of cultures in his laconic style, peppered with a distinctively Goan sense of humour. He flits from history to legend, from tales of love to tales of gore, from Catholic orthodoxy to hedonistic manifestations of liberation, very Latin in spirit, in order to define the identity of this tiny island. What emerges is a memorable account of the essentially Portuguese connection of the state and the history of some of its important monuments and feast days. Lavish colour pictures and centrespreads by Amit Pasricha buttress the uniqueness and vivacity of the state’s culture.

Art of Kamasutra de Shankar Barua.
Lustre Press. India, 1995, 95 págs. E.
Sexuality is acknowledged as a form of psychic energy which can legitimately find expression in myriad ways, ranging from tender romantic love and conjugal concord to straightforward lust.
This book combines the Hindu sage Vatsyayana’s celebrated treatise with illustrations on the theme of sexual pleasure. The Kamasutra, ever since it was brought out of its seclusion in Sanskrit scholarship by Burton’s masterly translation, has informed and delighted generations of readers. Shankar Barua’s retelling of Vatsyayana’s The Kamasutra is both jaunty and pragmatic, its analysis of sexual politics often chillingly realistic. The intention of this work was to provide instruction as well as enjoyment.
