Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945); Erotic fiction

The original, classic erotic novel that started it all. Story of O has been a perennial bestseller since its initial publication in 1954, and will be sure to enjoy a surge of renewed popularity as fans of E.L. James's Fifty Shades of Grey and Sylvia Day's Bared to You eagerly search for the next big thing.

The notorious novel of dark obsession

How far will a woman go to express her love? In this exquisite novel of passion and desire, the answer emerges through a daring exploration of the deepest bonds of sensual domination. ""O"" is a beautiful Parisian fashion photographer, determined to understand and prove her consuming devotion to her lover, Rene, through complete submission to his every whim, his every desire.

It is a journey of forbidden, dangerous choices that sweeps her through the secret gardens of the sexual underground. From the inner sanctum of a private club where willing women are schooled in the art of subjugation to the excruciating embraces of Rene's friend Sir Stephen, O tests the outermost limits of pleasure. For as O discovers, true freedom lies in her pure and complete willingness to do anything for love.
