  The Perfumed Garden of Sensual Desire , for over a century, has been known in English through Sir Richard Burton's bizarre translation (from the French) which consistently misrepresented the original. This translation shows how it is nothing more than a manual for the ordinary, married man, but one that is not without some entertainment value.
