This classic book of erotica is, alongside "Story of O," the most
famous French underground novel of the late twentieth century and a
work of seductive literary merit.
It begins with nineteen-year-old Emmanuelle's flight from London to
join her husband in Bangkok. On the airplane, she is seduced by the
passenger seated next to her. By the time they land, she has
indulged her irrepressible and insatiable sexual appetite,
embarking on an odyssey of hedonistic sensual discovery that takes
her from the arms of her husband to intimate encounters with the
wives of his business associates, to further explorations wherein
the philosophical and aesthetic facets of eroticism are
expounded--and enacted--to the fullest degree.
Intoxicating and intelligent, "Emmanuelle," which has sold hundreds
of thousands of copies since its initial clandestine publication in
France, follows one woman's liberation from unconscious to
intensely conscious sexuality. It is as pertinent today as it was
four decades ago.
