Egyptian Erotica: The Essence of Ancient Egyptian Erotica in Art and Literature (Essence of Erotica series)

Some of the once-abundant erotic works of ancient Egypt, many of which have been lost or destroyed over the centuries, are presented here in words and images. The ancient Egyptian erotic world comes alive in fragments of poetry and literature and in magnificent color pictures and detailed drawings of sculptures and etchings. Discussed is the period of dynastic rule in Egypt, when the deified pharaohs delighted in erotic escapades that rivaled those portrayed in India's Kama Sutra and Persia's One Thousand and One Nights.
