Short Synopsis
Considered a classic and worthy of standing beside the best writings of the Marquis de Sade, Story of O is a dark, mystical tale of love and subjection that transcends the erotic. Contains mature themes.

Full Synopsis
O is a young, beautiful fashion photographer in Paris. One day her lover, René, takes her to a château, where she is enslaved, with René's approval, and systematically sexually assaulted by various other men. Later, René turns O over to Sir Stephen, an English friend who intensifies the brutality. But the final humiliation is yet to come.

"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 author's genius . . . a profoundly disturbing book, as well as a black tour-de-force." ---Spectator
