A young woman discovers the boundless potential of her sexuality in this “lyrical and graphic” international bestselling classic novel of joyful eroticism (NPR). 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 enacte...

Emmanuelle
This now 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. Written by the wife of a diplomat in the French Foreign Service, it takes the form of an autobiographical novel, which it may or may not be. As the story opens, Emmanuelle is boarding a plane in London to rejoin her husband in Bangkok. She finds herself powerfully compelled by the overnight passenger seated beside her, and before she has landed, her irrepressible sensual nature has begun to open wide vistas of sexual possibility. As the novel continues, she moves easily from the waiting arms of her husband to intimacies with the wives of his business associates to further explorations and experiences in which the subtle aesthetics of eroticism are expounded-and enacted-to their fullest. Emmanuelle, which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since its initial clandestine publication in France, relates the movement of a woman from an unconscious to a profoundly conscious sexuality.

Bad Behaviour
Mary Gaitskill's tales of desire and dislocation in 1980s New York caused a sensation with their frank, caustic portrayals of men and women's inner lives. As her characters have sex, try and fail to connect, play power games and inflict myriad cruelties on each other, she skewers urban life with precision and candour. 'Stubbornly original, with a sort of rhythm and fine moments that flatten you out when you don't expect it, these stories are a pleasure to read' Alice Munro 'An air of Pinteresque menace hangs over these people's social exchanges like black funereal bunting ... Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail' Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Emmanuelle
"The novel Emmanuelle has sold over 500,000 copies since its first hardcover edition. It was also made into one of the most successful X-rated films of the past decade. Like its companion volume, the Illustrated Story of O, also done by Guido Crepax, this tale of the young and beautiful wife of a French diplomat who becomes a complete sensualist is the perfect vehicle for the wicked and revealing pen of the visual artist."--Cover.
Crush
This debut novel of a Frenchwoman’s obsessive affair is “a little book that astonishes, by the fierceness of its outlook, the rawness of its tone” (Magazine Littéraire). Amélie is a thirty-year-old haute bourgeoisie wife of a distant husband and mother of two picture-perfect daughters. One evening at a service station on the outskirts of the Bois de Boulogne, she meets a man named David and immediately steps into a new life of erotic sensuality. Twenty years her senior, darkly handsome, and almost embarrassingly virile, he is a suave filmmaker, a confirmed bachelor, and the perfect match for the perfect affair—but one with a twist. Amélie is not the typical lonely wife, starving for affection. Capricious, snobbish, and sometimes deceitful, she is ravenously hungry for pleasure. Written with cool-headed intensity and sexual heat, Crush is an unforgettable odyssey through the wilds of desire into the badlands of erotic obsession.
