Venus in India (1889) is an erotic novel by Charles Devereaux.
Published pseudonymously, the novel is styled as the autobiography
of its fictional author, a young British Cavalry officer whose
deployment in India is filled with romantic escapades. "The war in
Afghanistan appeared to be coming to a close when I received sudden
orders to proceed, at once, from England to join the First
Battalion of my regiment, which was then serving there. I had just
been promoted Captain and had been married about eighteen months."
Sent to India on a last minute military assignment, Captain
Devereaux takes his time arriving at his final destination on the
North West Frontier. Along the way, he stops in Nowshera and
Cherat, where he wastes no time romancing the wives and daughters
of his fellow soldiers. First with the lovely Lizzie Wilson, and
then with the daughters of Colonel Selwyn, Charles Devereaux gives
himself over to passion and desire, forgetting about his wife and
young child at home. Graphic and graceful, comic and provocative,
Venus in India is a shining example of nineteenth century erotica
in which the power of words to arouse is on full display. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Charles Devereaux's Venus in India is a classic of
Victorian erotica reimagined for modern readers.
