Story of O, Volume 1

Story of O, Volume 1 by Pauline Reage. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781561630028.

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS EROTIC NOVELS OF ALL TIME. A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity Graham Greene. A highly literary and imaginative work, the brilliance of whose style leaves one in no doubt whatever of the authors genius...a profoundly disturbing book, as well as a black tour-de-force Spectator. Here all kinds of terrors await us, but like a baby taking its mothers milk all pains are assuaged. Touched by the magic of love, everything is transformed. Story of O is a deeply moral homily J.G. Ballard. Cool, cruel, formalistic fantasy about a woman subjected - at the prce of the great love of her life - to the gamut of male sado-masochistic urges Birmingham Post. The sequel to Story of O is also available from Corgi Books.
