Pauline Reage

Con inmenso orgullo acogemos finalmente en nuestra coleccion el celebre libro de la aun misteriosa Pauline Reage, Historia de O. Dificilmente en un siglo aparecen obras puntuales como esta, obras que son a la vez cristalizacion de un sentir que hasta entonces flotaba en el aire del tiempo y punto de referencia en el despertar de una sensibilidad todavia imprecisa. Cuando el editor frances Jean-Jacques Pauvert publico, en 1954, Historia de O, este libro estallo como una bomba en el puritano mundo postbelico, causando escandalo y desconcierto. Pero lo que una mujer, Pauline Reage, expresaba de pronto con tan desgarradora y brutal belleza respondia, curiosamente, a lo que millones de lectores, hombres y mujeres, sentian sin osar siquiera formular en forma de deseo. No tardo mucho Historia de O en convertirse en el libro mas traducido y leido en el mundo desde El pequeno principe de Saint-Exupery. Hoy, treinta anos despues, esta obra maestra, consagrada ya «clasico del genero», sigue siendo manual iniciatico de jovenes de todas las edades. Desde aquellos tiempos sordidos en que se la leia en la penumbra, enfundada en papel de embalar o de cuaderno escolar, hasta hoy, todos y cada uno de nosotros, sus deudores, la hemos vivido a nuestro modo, al ritmo de nuestras necesidades y carencias, en la convivencia secreta con nuestros propios fantasmas y nuestras propias fantasias. Nadie ha permanecido indiferente a la estremecedora historia de O.

Historia de O

The precursor to Fifty Shades of Grey, Pauline Réage's Story of O continues, as a woman returns to the place of her deepest, most intimate erotic initiation. She gave up everything to surrender to the forces of sensual love. Beautiful “O” is a Parisian photographer who makes a bold choice to follow her most forbidden desires. Her story takes her to the deepest, most dangerous places of domination, where the pleasures of the flesh meet the needs of the heart. O's journey sweeps her from the compelling embrace of René, where she gained understanding of true physical surrender, to the mysterious Sir Stephen and his chateau, where women learn to master the sensual arts. In this private club, O is challenged to release everything but her desire to be a willing vessel of pleasure—and forced to confront who she is and what she truly wants. As jealousy, sadistic games, and uncertainty make her question the lines she has crossed for love, she can only wonder: How far and how deep will she go? And where will it stop?
