In Delta of Venus Anaïs Nin penned a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Delta of Venus is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the master of erotic writing.

    I couldn't read this in one go (erotica overload!) and the chapters lent for easy reading over a long time.

    I realize now why Anais Nin is so esteemed. Her prose lends much beauty and sensitivity to human sexuality.

  • Did not finish the book. I found the few stories that i read mediocre and not at all exciting, what i expect erotic stories to be.

  • Exotic Erotic

    Mmm, I fell for Anais Nin during the course of this short story collection. So skillful, very erotic and pressing all the right buttons - most of the time. Can be re-read I think, just for fun.

  • What a delusion! I would have expected muuuch more from such a fine word painter, but it seems here that we all have to get the bread someway. Or maybe I simply didnt get the whole point; everybody seems to think this is a masterpiece, however it baffles me...

  • It is such an elegant erotic fiction collection. It is rare to find such an English erotic book that the readers can find "beauty" in it.
