Descripción editorial
"Venus in India" is an erotic novel set in British India, attributed to Charles Devereaux, a pseudonym. Published in the late 19th century, it is a notable example of Victorian erotica. The narrative revolves around Captain Devereaux, a British Army officer, and his sexual exploits in the colonial setting. Notable for its explicit content, the novel explores themes of colonialism, power dynamics, and sexuality, often focusing on the relationships between European officers and Indian women. These relationships are portrayed with elements of domination and exoticism, reflecting the colonial attitudes of the era. The book is controversial for its graphic sexual descriptions and portrayal of colonial India, making it a significant yet problematic work in the genre of erotic literature. "Venus in India" is of interest for its candid depiction of Victorian sexuality and its insight into the intersection of colonial power and erotic imagination.
