The new book by the famous writer and traveler S. Mazurkevich is dedicated to ancient treatises on love and sex. They seem to be familiar to everyone, but in fact, few people have a correct idea about them. The author has made every effort to make this an entertaining and fun read. Despite the fact that as the book progresses it may seem that in places he is making fun of the authors of ancient treatises and their creations, this is not the case. This is just a style of presentation, and the author treats all the ancient sages who left us their treatises as a legacy with the greatest respect and bows before their wisdom.
