Now that Pamela has turned 18, the couple that have fostered her since 15 require her to seek employment. Before she departs however Mr Rumpole takes it upon himself to intimately inspect the young woman for who he has harboured a particularly lacivious desire. Naive in the ways of the flesh, Pamela soon loses herself in the dizzying heights of exctasy. When all her assets are fully explored, she is left with a wanton urge to pass on her training to everyone she becomes so aquainted, man, woman, young, and old alike. In her new position as Governess, this libertine will also find new satisfaction in applying the birch and rod to her mischiveious charges. Written anonymously in 1895 and in the same graphically licentious vein as Flossie and First Training, Venus in the Country is a deliciously fine example of Victorian erotica.
This fictional account of the seventeenth-century Spanish painter’s life is “a very enjoyable read . . . A portrait of Velázquez and a meditation on love” (Washington Independent Review of Books). Narrated by the mysterious model who posed for Rokeby Venus, Diego Velázquez’s only surviving female nude, I Am Venus is the riveting account of a great artist’s rise to prominence, set against the backdrop of political turmoil and romantic scandal. A sweeping story of scandal and passion, and a vivid recreation of a corrupt kingdom on the brink of collapse, I Am Venus is a thrilling novel that brings to life the public and private worlds of Spain’s greatest painter. “A well-plotted read with engaging characters and rich detail. Fans of Tracy Chevalier and Elizabeth Kostova as well as art history buffs will enjoy Mujica’s interpretation.” —Library Journal “A worthwhile read . . . Mujica continues her realistic representation by loading the text with rich historical detail [that] instantly creates a sensory world for her readers to inhabit.” —Booklist “Mujica’s prose is vigorous and intense, and the story is paradoxically both dark and illuminating.” —Kirkus Reviews
When Captain Devereaux, a British Army officer, is posted to Hindustan, he leaves behind his wife and young child. This parting does not leave him lonely for long, however, and he quickly begins a sexual relationship with Lizzie Wilson, the wife of another British officer. But when Captain Devereaux meets Colonel Selwyn, his wife, and three young daughters Amy, Mabel and Fanny, he becomes entranced by the girls—Fanny in particular—and soon begins schooling all three of the Colonel’s daughters in the ways of erotic love—a lesson they are more than happy to learn. Purportedly autobiographical, Venus in India (or Love Adventures in Hindustan) was written under the pseudonym Charles Devereaux. The author’s real identity has never been confirmed.

Will there be peace? Will there be war? Find out with Mundane Astrology. Here, in one volume, are three classic books on the astrology of nations and states, by H.S. Green, Raphael, and C.E.O. Carter: H.S. Green organizes his book planet-by- planet. He tells what each planet will do in the 12 houses. Raphael organizes the topic by house. He tells how mundane houses work when planets are in them. In addition, both authors deal with solar and lunar eclipses, and earthquakes. Green shows the effects of eclipses in the houses, while Raphael describes them by decanate (100 sections of the zodiac). Both mention the effects of comets, although little about these mysterious bodies is known astrologically. Charles Carter, writing after WWII, discusses why astrologers failed to predict the war and what that means for mundane astrology. His plea for better data has largely been met, but the need for more study remains. All three authors give astrological rulerships for countries and cities. These are centuries old and are weighted to England and Europe. Carter's rulers are the most up-to-date. These are the essential texts for serious study of mundane astrology. About the Authors H.S. Green was an astrologer associated with Alan Leo's astrological revival back in the first decade of the 20th century. His various books are highly regarded (all but this one out of print, sadly), but biographical details are sketchy. Raphael was the pen-name of one Robert Cross, 1850-1923. He was the sixth in a series of astrological writers who used the name "Raphael" & remains the best known of them all. He wrote books on virtually all astrological topics. His book on mundane astrology dates from 1910. Charles E.O. Carter, 1887-1968, was one of the outstanding British astrologers of the 20th century. He succeeded Alan Leo as head of the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society, a post he held from 1920 to 1952. He was editor of Astrology, The Astrologer's Quarterly, from 1926 to 1959. Carter's persistent genius reestablished astrology as a serious discipline in England, after two centuries of decline. He wrote his book on Mundane Astrology in reaction to the failure of astrologers to forecast WWII. In 1939, astrologers in London knew there was a full-scale war on in China, they knew the situation with Germany was tense, but they had studied the charts for the year, they knew the fuss would blow over. And they were wrong. Carter set out to discover why, his book was the result.
