Venus presented initially in dystopian and then in eutopian terms. Men from Earth visit Venus which is inhabited by humans with a monarchy, and the novel then follows the difficulties of the men from Earth almost like a standard "lost race" novel where there is a struggle between good and bad Venusians. The Earth men bring Christianity to Venus and all ends well.
