The classic erotic novel, THE STORY OF O relates the love of a beautiful Parisian fashion photographer for Rene. As part of that intense love, she demands debasement and severe sexual and pychological tests. It is a unique work not to be missed.

Forthright, yes (which I'm sure contributed to it's controversial fame when first published - 1950's) but not sexual.

A classic though? I would say so.” read more
