Venus in India
Cover of the famous book, a must read erotica
Erotica is a subject that is both hated and loved. The prude
will look down and term it obscenity, while another person will consider it an
essential part of life. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in-between.
One of the classics of erotic literature has India as a background
and the Anglo Afghan war as a part of scenario. The novel is a memoire and
delineates the life of a young officer of the British army in a cantonment in
the North West frontier.
It’s a lovely book and the hero seduces 3 sisters who are
daughters of a British colonel. The love scenes are graphic, but written almost
like poetry in motion and making the erotic scenes more like a dream.
The writer of the book is supposed to be a man named Charles
Devereus. But there is no record of any such officer in the British Indian
army. It was perhaps written to keep the writers name anonymous. Now people
conjecture that it was perhaps written by Major Crommelin Henry Ricketts, who
retired in 1871 and belonged to the 5th Cavalry stationed at Madras. He had a long stint of 21 years in the Indian
army.
The 3 sister Mabel, Fanny and Amy have written their names
in the world of erotica. A wonderful book if you have time to spare for once
you start you won’t be able to leave it. The book weaves an exciting tale and show cases army life in the North West Frontier during the days of the Raj.
Military life was hard, but Major Ricketts had a rollicking time
