Emmanuelle Arsan was a novelist celebrated for her evocative and sensual explorations of desire and the human condition. Her distinctive voice captured the complexities of identity and societal norms, offering a bold and often transgressive perspective. Through her work, Arsan delved into the intertwining of passion, power, and the search for authentic selfhood, leaving a lasting mark on erotic literature.
The narrative follows Emmanuelle, a captivating sensualist engaged in provocative erotic exploration. This sequel delves deeper into her journey, intertwining themes of sexuality with philosophical reflections. Renowned for its literary significance, the book stands as a notable work in the realm of erotica, continuing the legacy of its predecessor while offering a rich tapestry of desire and intellectual inquiry.
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.
Hrsg. von Carolin Keiser, mit Beiträgen von Emmanuelle Arsan, Charles Bukowski und Erica Jong. 380 Seiten.
Hinter dem Pseudonym Emmanuelle Arsan verbirgt sich die aus Thailand stammende Marayat Roullet-Andriane. Im Alter von sechzehn – manche Quellen nennen zwanzig – Jahren heiratete sie den französischen Diplomaten Louis-Jaques Roullet-Andriane, der nach dem Bekanntwerden der Autorin aus Thailand abberufen wurde und den Dienst quittierte. Ihr erster Roman «Emmanuelle oder die Schule der Lust» erschien 1959 in Paris. Trotz der strengen Zensurvorschriften entwickelte sich das Skandalwerk schnell zu einem weltweiten Erfolg: Der französische Underground-Bestseller wurde in zehn Sprachen übersetzt und zog zahlreiche Adaptionen für die Leinwand nach sich. Marayat Roullet-Andriane war auch als Schauspielerin zu sehen, unter anderem in der Verfilmung ihres Romans «Laure», bei der sie auch Regie führte.
